Default Blended in bodykit

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has got any pics of their bodykit blended into the bodywork as I'm thinking about doing this over the winter.

Cheers
Dave

It will look ok for one day. Just dont go over any bumps it will crack and the filler will sink.

Has anyone got any pics? If done properly it shouldn't crack.

Just looking for ideas at the minute.

Cheers

Don't bother more grief than it's worth to do right. Will most likely crack the first time you hit a bump. Spend the cash tidying the bodywork up and then what's left can be spent where it matters. i.e making it go faster
