I have done it. I got the bumpers and the grill for less than $250 US shipped off of ebay. It is not a difficult install. Believe it or not, the grill was the worst part of it (and maybe you aren't doing the grill?). I really like the looks of it. I do have pictures, however, everytime I try to add them to my gallery I get error messages!!!

i got a guy selling a set of PS ones ... but its a hassle getting the body painted to CR
which would cost a fair bit

Eric,
If you are patient and look around you will eventually find a set of CR S bumpers. I wouldn't want to mess around trying to get them painted, plus like you say there is the added expense. But sometimes with mods it is tough to be patient!!!!

i know the parts is about 600-700 isnt it?

and fitting and installing isnt going to be that much but painting might be the expensive part

i am going to see the guy in sydney who imports car parts and see how much it will cost for the set import from UK

regards,
Eric

Hmmm.. I would be interested in that - keep me posted - perhaps we can get a group buy together?

Dont know if Ill get the sides if theyre $1400 (and yeah, I think painting was the expensive part). If theyre 800 or something, yeah I will

If you can get the set for a reasonable price on import, painted, you can count me in

Does this guy fit as well? Or would we then have to go to our dealers with the parts?

I think he just does parts

but i'm thinking the entire aerokit could probably cost up to 3000 installed i reckon

about 2000 cheaper then the dealers

Alan got his imported in England

doesnt cost as much if u import

Eric
