I spotted a white X in front of me the other day with the Sport bodykit fitted and fell in love instantly!

I really want one but..... the cheapest I can source the kit for is £700 (about $1150).

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to get this kit any cheaper?
I've spotted a similar kit on ebay for £500 but the lines just arn't as nice as the official one.

I already have the rear boot spoiler fitted so just need the front and rear bumper extensions and the side sills.

 

Probably not, unless you can luck into finding one in a salvage yard that is undamaged, and then just refinish it to match your car.

 

Thanks Chris,

That was pretty much the answer I was expecting to be honest but thought I'd try my luck anyway.

Looks like I'll have to start saving then.

 

i really love the body kit too, if it just wasnt so much $ i would have one!

 

I just bought and fitted the front apron from the kit. I love the whole kit on dark-coloured cars, but the sides and rear are too skirty in my opinion on silver and lighter colours.

 

where did you get the front apron from? and how much, if you dont mind me asking was installation, front apron, and paint?

 

I got it from Mina Gallery. I painted and installed it myself. Paint is from paintscratch.com. Total cost was around $350 with shipping.

 

I agree with your statement about the side skirts and rear apron. Kinda gets into the 90's Pontiac style - a little too much.

I wanted a front apron too, but with all the hills around here I clip the front end sometimes as it is. Any lower and I'd tear it up constantly.

 

oh i have ordered some touch up paint from that site before, good stuff. anyways is it hard for the average diy'er to install because i see your pretty good with your x type?

 

Yes, it is easy for a DIY'er in my opinion (assuming you can paint or have it painted). the fitment is so tight (you almost have to fight it a bit) that when you put epoxy on the back of it, it snaps into place. Just leave it overnight to cure the epoxy and you are good to go.

 

hmmm it just might be my next mod, thanks for you help exexpat

 

$1150 is a VERY reasonable price for the full kit, really. Here in the US its about $1800 for front, sides, and rear (excluding trunk lid spoiler). I was lucky to get it for about $1200. The other pain is the cost of paint, ran me $900 (including trunk lid spoiler). But at the end, it's so worth it. I took off the front spoiler to get it refinished, hated looking at my car until it was back on.
