[VR6man]

Where oh where is there any info, pics, pricing, information on these on the web ??? (or isnt there any??)

Ive seen the pics of the 172 with this rear kit on... so where do they come from (Elia / Prima i have heard mentioned but where do i find out more??)

cheers

 

[BenR]

we sell them in hk, cheaper than they do in the UK!!!

there quite good quality.....

 

[VR6man]

ok.... rough price ??? so i know what i am talking about ???

 

[BenR]

in HK, about $16,000
or 1400 quid

 

[BenR]

fully fitted and painted by our porsche dept bodyshop.

 

[VR6man]

ok... so price isnt too bad....

does that include the exhaust sytem though ????

and where in the UK can you get them ?

 

[BenR]

yup, drive in / drive out

 

[VR6man]

problem is.. it would be a long drive to Hong Kong ?? (HK ??)

 

[BenR]

well, not too long, considering your not far away

 

[VR6man]

the sea could cause problems though

 

[petes]

Nah, your warranty covers you for corrosion!

 

[VR6man]

oh excellent....

ill pop over then !!!

 

[BenR]

done deal!
ill even top up all liquids free for the trip home!!

oh, and the magic tree, dont forget the magic tree!!

 

[paddymph]

What about the wheels? I mean, wouldnt you need a longer wheelbase or summat?

-(Prepares to get shot down badly...)

[BenR]

dont worry mate. is a V6 kit comprised of the V6 style front and rear bumpers, exhaust and spoiler...just scaled down for the 172.
no need ofr bigger wheels, spacers, longer wheelbase.

 

[VR6man]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

but where in THIS country could I get the kit ????

much though I would like another holiday this year, I kinda need somewhere UK based...

RAFLMAO You lot have lot the plot

 

[BenR]

haha, glad you enjoyed it CHB!

VR6: im afraid im in HK south east asia, about 9000miles away!

but hell, ill knock another bit off (not the car, the price) and ill even add a free set of light eyebrows.

or another magic tree, your choice.

 

[VR6man]

id have to be careful or it might need servicing halfway through the journey


hmmm tempting (obviously, i need to actually buy the car first.....)

so basically, you cant get them from anywhere in this country ??? i.e the UK !!!!

 

[Captain Slarty]

Ben M8,

can u post images of the kit fitted to a car (mk2) ??

Cheers... might be worth considering if I go 4*4 next year..

Joe

 

[VR6man]

can u also post pictures of the magic tree ?? this could be a deciding factor in all of this

 

[BenR]

capt..it wont fit the mk2 and doesnt make the arches any larger. so, i think if you rip arches off another car then you could fit them in. only the rear bumper fit s the MK2, but the front will with a lot of persuasion!

VR6: which colour magic tree, i like yellow the best.....

BTW, email david@k-tecracing.com and ben from HK recommended them.

 

[VR6man]

can u get silver magic trees ??

 

[BenR]

for an extra 50 qiud yes, but they wont smell anymore....

 

[VR6man]

ah..

well i need the smell....

its not really a magic tree anymore without the smell..

just a Silver Tree...

cool, but less functional

 

[BenR]

you could argue that, all trees smell. but if i found a silver one! i would be rich!

We will soon be importing the original (not a cheap copy) RS-R front and rear bumpers for the Clio. As Ben said the rear will fit the Mk 1 and Mk 2 but the front bumper will not go straight on the Mk2. The bumpers are expected to retail for £335+vat each and the stainless steel twin outlet back box will be £245+vat. We also now have our first set of 172 side skirts ready to fit to one our cars this week with pictures available form the beginning of next week. These are expected to be £199+vat for the pair.

David.
