The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Probably best to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Even from the like of EPRacing aftermarket parts need a lot of prep work to fit. I can't imagine what the cheap eBay parts must be like to fit, give that to a body shop and they will hate you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st519 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 As above, I would stay away unless you are willing to do the necessary prep work. Don't think you will get a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 they offer a fitting and spray service, maybe send them a PM asking how much that would be. It will give you an idea of the parts quality, if they say it's going to take 40hrs to fit it, you know its rubbish. If they say it'll be an hour + paint you know it's probably quite good. Generally, even the best fibreglass kits take some playing with to get them right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 ok anyone else know where to get a rep v2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I got mine from epracing. But as already stated, u buy a replica and there is things you need to do for perfect fitment. I.e filling random cracks and holes, and fibreglass certain areas. Pick a replica up for 200. Then another 150 for filling and spraying, possibly more Edited June 26, 2013 by ddcboyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thats the one yep. Wouldnt say it was amazing ready to spray and fit. Garage I took it to were to fix it up, spray and fit. But turned out to be the worst garage on the planet, fitted with b&q wood screws and didnt sit properly. So im not sure on how it would have fitted. Personally, if you cant afford genuine, epracing is where id ho for replica. But if you can pick up genuine with stone chips, different colour, itd be same price and less hasstle.

lmc Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ep racing kits can be a minefield aswell. bought a kit for a previous car and the fit was horrendous but there customer service was good and they replaced it straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost my reciept 5months after buying, asked if I could get an email with reciept on it. 2 days later I got post, first class stamp and said it was for free. Win.
