As I have to replace my front bumper due to my "little accident" the other day, does anyone know of any full replacement "body-kit" front-ends for the C5?

The only one I can find is the "Tiger Shark" tecstar front end, but I can't say I'm really that keen...

Anyone?

I think the best looking kit is the ACI kit. The nose looks good just on its own which could be handy for you !

Shame - I do like the ACI one, but unfortunately it's only a lip spoiler. The damage to my bumper is where the bumper meets the wing, so I have no other option but to replace the whole thing.

Seems at the moment as though the only people who have made a complete replacement is TigerShark. Shame I ain't too keen on it.

I've seen a few promising bodykits from Europe in certain pictures though - doesn't anyone know anything about those?

Yes but the European kits cost as much as the car. I can't recall the name of the company but they do the PhatVette.

I think Geiger do kits but not sure if they do them for the C5. They often have "breakers" on the German sites where you might get the front bumper.
