Kym, it was around $670 shipped with the exchange rate at the time. Very well packaged and arrived sooner than most things from over east (less than a week)! I then got a mate to paint it for me and also the rear boot trim, which was about as much again! It's black poly-something plastic, so it needed some kind of finish, and I thought body colour was the most complete option.

Ooh, rough idea how much alignment and camber would cost? Can ASG to it???

Thanks for that. I am looking at several options instead of the front lip I have currently (not installed yet)

No, ASG can't, but Wilkinsons, Wheels World or any reputable tyre shop will be able to help you out. If you go in to a place like Wilkinsons (where I go) and tell them what you want, they will try and get it as close. I have been going to Wilko's for years... It's worth the money to get a decent set up! Can change the dynamics of the car greatly too

Yeah, I picked the HT one because it was a bit more extreme than the normal ones, but not as insane as the Black Top Aero one! I reckon it's perfect, but then I am biased lol

Thanks AD and mitchwnz! It was pretty straight forward to fit too.

The front uses a couple of the existing front bumper mount points, plus a few extra holes to be drilled too along the front/middle. The sides needed something like 10 holes drilled each and the rear just one extra hole each side. All the hardware is included in the kit and instructions for which drill sizes to use - although I did add a couple extra large washers to spread the load a bit at the front.

Personally, the matching paint finish really sets it off nicely and is worth the extra $$$ IMO.
