Veilside Body Kit - front bumper cracks

Post by Agent007 »

Any of you guys or girls with a veilside body kit? Does yours crack at the front? I've seen two ftos with a crack at the front like mine. Im just wondering what could of caused these cracks?

Im asking because I went to get my front bumper fixed because someone reversed into me at the lights, stupid idiot. Well anyways 4 days lata it was fixed costed me $300. But den about 3 days after i got it fixed, I noticed a crack on the bumper, I suspected that someone might of hit my front bumper with there car, but I dont know.

Could it be the actually kit itself thats causing these cracks?
or Dodgy panel beaters? or mayb dodgy ppl who ram ppls cars and drive off? Anyone have any ideas ?

I have the same problem with my front cracking as well. I think it is because everytime you scrape the front, it puts pressure on the weakest point of the kit, which therefore makes it crack.

yeh thats what i thought aswell but when you look at the kit theres two pieces to it. the bottom part which gets scrapped is screwed onto the bumper.

Well, the bottom part of my kit is whats cracked, not the top part. If yours is cracked on the top part, It could be that the Panel Beaters screwed in the screws too tight, which screwed up your kit.

I assume you are talking about my photos. Those girls were the models I hired for last years auto salon. I have many more photos to put up, but they are on my other computer. At last years Auto Expo, I had 6 models on modelling for my car!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
