Custom GTR body kit

[Alex93]

Hey guys I'm new to here so please be gentle!
Me and my brother have just started our GTR and me getting all excited have been looking at images of the various body kits that have adorned GTR's fitted by specialist guys. My query is whether there are any body kits available to purchase other than the standard factory one? And if so, whether anyone on here has fitted one and whether they've any images to show off?
Nice meeting you all
Alex

You're a troll, definitely, no-one buys a GTR to biuild and then talks about 'body kits' without actually doing research.

[Alex93]

I'm the troll? Coming from someone who pre-judges a first-time poster with their superiorority complex. I didn't mean body-kit as you see on 15 year old Saxo's, I simply meant a different body to the factory supplied one

[Silent1]

Fair enough, but to see someone mention body-kits and ultimas the first though it a bad-boy widearch kit
Not a totally different body, i guess there's the grasser racing body, i've no idea if they sell it though,

[Alex93]

I just think that the plain factory-supplied body looks a little soft. The Jon-olsson Ultima looks gorgeous though. I just wondered if anyone had fitted a different body or made modifications to make it look that bit nicer and less kit car like

[Silent1]

Didn't GTWayne modify the body on his ultima?

[Paul.B]

There have been lots with subtle changes to the body shape but they all start with the factory body and make their changes to that. Have a look in the photos' 'sticky' at the top of the page. Very few have started from scratch.

ETA - it is in the Gallery link in the 'Ultima Stickies' post by Stig.

Thank you guys I'll have a look

It's only fibreglass, so anythings possible, all depends on how deep your pockets are.

Things to think about, any major mods you make will mean you will need to paint it rather than simply have the gelcoat finish.
Any changes to lights must be iva compliant if it's uk based and road legal.
It's easy to make a dogs dinner of it

If you have deep pockets you could go talk to Steve Smith who has a modded front clip and does all sorts of other stuff, or even Mr Olsen.

I recon some mega wide arches would look cool on an ultima.... DTM here we come.

The Ultima is not wide enough for you already Dom!!!!

Down narrow country roads it is plenty wide enough for me. Track only and another 6" inches would be fine but necessary??????

Just talking with Jon and he ordered one for me. Due to a change of plans the front section was untouched and uncrated.
