yeah they are pretty foul man, kinda look a bit tacky and imo don't suit the mk2 but if you reckon you can make one look good then go for it.

Yeah i've been talking to that guy about buying his wide arch kit too. Some one has offered him £150 for the complete tail gate I belive.

Has he sent you the pic's? It's a bit banged up to be fair.
Had a look around and found a couple of places up country that still do them.
They are about £220 including postage + vat

Hav a look at that auction grak, it's a good price and the item is in good condition.
And it's just down the road from me.
I'm probably only interested in the tailgate, anyone interested in the rest?

It's a bit shagged to be honest Grak (the kit that is), the whale tail and gate both look mint tho.
And it's just down the road from me.
I'm probably only interested in the tailgate, anyone interested in the rest?
i might be interested in the front splitter gonna get a respray soon so a bit of damage isn't a problem

Grak did you win that auction : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7941049267&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT I saw the high bidder as grk25 so I decided not to out bid incase it was you (plus the fact I would proberbly just re-sell the kit anyway)
Yes it was me, i only want the tailgate. We'll have to sort something out with the rest of the kit.

Let me know how much you want for the wide arch kit, i'm interested for sure. I just didnt need all the other stuff that comes with it like the tail gate.
Postage might be a problem, depends on how much you want for the rest of the kit tho ;)
I'm sure that we could come to some arrangement. I don't know about the price, £50 ish sound ok to you? :o Maybe we could met up half way to save on postage. How far into Wales are you?

I'm quite litterally smack on the england/wales boarder, near shrewsbury.
My uncle lives in dorset, i'll have a word with him. But I will need to see some piccies first before I start involveing other peeps, have you spoken to the lad who put the auction up yet? I emailed him a cpl of times hes a nice chap.
I've just email him waiting for a reply.
When i get the kit i could email some more pics if you want?
REMUS

yeah sure email them to remus_243(at)hotmail(dot)com (just to avoid any spam i get enough of it as it is...) when you gain possesion, I don't see a reason why I wouldnt buy the kit off you unless it was in really bad condition.
What do you want off the kit?
What about the bumpers?
He's emailed me back and i'm picking it up one evening this week sometime.
i'll buy the front splitter if you dont want it
Don't know the condition of it yet

It looks like the front and rear splitters have been bonded on using filler or somthing from the auction pic's, so I suppose I would need to buy the the lot off you really!
The front splitter has been bonded onto the front bumper, you''ll probably have to break it to get it off.

well as long as the bumper is in good condition I don't mind grak, just post the pictures here man.
upload the pic's to www.uploadit.org then use the image insert function to post your piccies here.
