Was wondering if anyone has used the replica front kit on their cars?

Only asking because i need a tech 2 top bumper but i know its hard to find one on its own, so i was wondering if they are any good.

Thanks

Genuine top bumpers sell at the 120 mark recently. I would wait for genuine they do come up.

Fibreglass so fitment may not be perfect. My bodykit aint perfect, but close enough for what I want. If you want perfection, dont buy fibreglass kit.

Biggest difference is the fiberglass one is a one piece front end and doesnt look right. By the time you mess about with a fiberglass one getting it to fit right and painting it a genuine one will be availible and most likely cost less.
