I'd definately have it, as Gouki said, it's something different from the rest...

It's quite nice, but I think it would need alot of time and effort to make it look as good as it does on the car in the pictures. Will need some wide wheels to pull it off too IMHO.

If your worried about wide wheels why not fit it without the arches to start with?
Then if it looks even worse then you know you need to invest in wider wheels/sell it.
I think its ok, change from the norm!

you could possibly get away with those 17" alpina replicas, they have a low offset and would line up better with the arches/kit.

Change not necessarily a good thing!! Looks like someone's glued a gutter around the arches and side skirts. Wide wheels are a must if you go for it!!!!
having said that, the rear bumper looks ace!!!!

if i were to buy it i would mould the arches in just to blend it in a bit more and put wider wheels.

and as for the body kit, get it fitted well and it will look good, get it done on the cheap and it will look exactly that

where the hell do you find this stuff?!
that looks odd, coz you're used to seeing the length of the touring with the rear doors. it looks almost like a short wheel base 3 door touring!!!
