Phil Si 2000,
The skirts are actually the standard Items colour coded but the bumpers are I believe the same as the ones on ebay at the moment I still have the skirts In the kit as I wasn't fussed on them.
The bumpers were a pig to fit though
The front one has been narrowed by approx 30mm and the fibreglass rear I couldn't achieve a good fit at all so I Just cut the valence part off the fibreglass bumper made a lip on It and mounted It to the origional ford rear bumper,took allot of time to do but I'm glad I stuck with It....
In short the ebay adverts claim that the bumpers should be a straight fit should be taken with a pinch of salt lol...But they could be from a different supplier and be a good fit after all??
Cheers

yep exactly the same problem i had when i bought them off ebay for my old focus a couple of years ago, lol, the front bumper went on ok but i could never get the back to fit properley, i did the same as you tho and just kept the standard skirts, the ones i got with the kit where crap, mine dint look to bad in the end but it was a black car, yours looks good in white tho 
hers a couple of pics of my old one before i sold it to my mate
Yeh they are a right sod to fit and the skirts that they are selling with them Just dont go with the bumpers do they??
I think they are being sold by a different seller now and they are much more expensive than I paid for mine so perhaps they are better? I wouldnt bet on It though eh???
Looks pretty mean In black aswell though don't they

the seller i bought them off went bust halfway through me buying them, i think i paid about Ł400 for the bumpers and the skirts but i had loads of problems trying to get mine, had to to get the police and everthing, your right about the skirts tho, they were propper flimsy fibreglass, i doubt there gonna be any better now tho
