AutoStyle Kits - Where From?!

[Fenix]

My aim is to create a Seat Ibiza MK2 which really stands out - but nothing overly chavvy. The list of jobs seems to grow each day and I am travelling in circles! I was going to get the Bravus front bumper and a facelift rear, but a fair few guys on another Seat forum are going that route too.

I stumbled across AutoStyle - a Dutch company found at http://www.autostyle.nl/

There's a kit there I really adore but am having endless problems finding who stocks it. Does anyone know of any AutoStyle stockists? I've looked at their list but I can't translate them (and there is no English option), or the ones I have managed to look at don't do it!

They have said you can buy it if you own/run/work at a car place which sells accessories but as it's wholesale I don't know if they'd just sell that kit, or require it bought in bulk.

The front bumper is:

ND VSE01
VBumper SE Ibiza 6K 93-99 'Type V' VSE01
Front bumper Seat
Seat/Ibiza

Below is a photo (stolen from the site).

Or - do any of you recognize a similar front bumper/skirts/rear bumper which I could get modified to fit my car?

Regards,
Alix

stands out far too much!
not nice, and no offense, pretty much everything is opposite what u said, its a bit too chavvy and sticky outy, if thats even 2 words..

 

[Fenix]

I'm a fraud *cries*

 

[R953 VSE]

in my opinion, if you want a kit that isn't too 'chavvy' something like this would look ok. there's an 'english option' on the link you have posted btw

 

[R953 VSE]

p.s. please don't paint your wheels yellow

Nothing too "Chavy" ?

It looks like a bloody Shitron Paxo .... which is THE Chaviest car in the world!

(Bar a Nova)

I have got the site in English, however the forum is Dutch and the links to people who stock their stuff are non-english and translating sites mess the pages up

It's the same style front as the yellow one matey - but with some weird circle cutouts and the bottom bit..?

Edit:
Only other option is this front end and sideskirts

With this rear end (but maybe fill it so no need for mesh)

hmm not my kind of thing so can't really comment. to get a kit to look right it needs to follow or match the same lines and shapes as the car has, and not have excessive holes/mesh/sticky out bits. thats my opinion.

youll have to get it from there.
its the only place within the UK that do em apparently.

haggle them on a price.
i got around 2-300 pounds off my bravus kit when i bought it with free shipping. you just got to be stubborn.
i found a cheaper rip off back garden copy of the kit and said id just buy that instead... then they said theyd match the price and sue the people ripping it off

everyones a winner baby thats the truth...

 

[Fenix]

Looked on JK Autospares but didn't see it - reckon it's worth giving them a call?

 

[ibiza_95]

yea theyre distributors for them, so they may not advertise the fact the sell them but theyll be able to get hold of them. price may be just a made up price tho so make sure you try and get them to lower it. say your stuck between 2 kits but one is 100 pounds cheaper than the other and from a different company, they may be willing to knowck a bit off to make you buy it from them

Front bumper:
€199

Rear bumper:
€199

Sideskirts:
€99

€500 all in all - how much do you think they'd charge me? I'd play the Bravus kit from POTN for £585.99 or spend £610 at stxstyling on front, rear and sideskirts of my choice with free delivery.

Reckon I could sway them with "sling some stickers in and some other free stuff and I'll put them on my car and advertise for ya"

 

[ibiza_95]

500 euros, is that about 350 pounds? if so i wouldnt bother i dont think you could get a cheaper body kit to be honest. maybe go with pushing the free shipping, if its free already i dont think id bother trying to knock it down.

STX styling is where i got my bravus from.
400 delivered i paid i think

Thing is - why is the kit so cheap? Will have to find out what it's made from I guess. I was talking to a guy from a bodyshop and he said if it's plastic it's better than glass fibre or whatever it is; however someone else in the biz said plastic is crappy?

Papermache....

Spit and paper...

 

[ibiza_95]

fibre glass isnt flexible so if you catch it on a curb your in deep poo, but plastic is flexible. but the paint may chip off plastic as opposed to GRP ive got a plastic bumper on at the mo and it pretty good, but i couldnt find a plastic kit anywhere, mines GRP and as long as its not a cheap rip off youll be ok. the one ive got is pretty thick and rigid. it costs jack to make them so that may be why theyre so cheap, or it could indded turn out to be a ripped off copy.
ask where it comes from if they say where ever the first company you posted is from it should be alright

 

[Fenix]

Have seen AutoStyle rims on the site so it looks ok, fired off an email to them earlier as its Friday and noone likes to do much work on Friday afternoons! I guess it's cheaper too because it's like, not really widespread like the Bravus kit also it's all in € and conversion is on my side!

Just because a car is modified doesnt make it chavvy.

A chav car is one which has drove through halfords with glue on it.

End of the day its your car and you make it into what ever you want.

If your goin the show route then I suggest its time to be different.

I work on the cycles dept. at my local Halfords; I can assure you the doors aren't big enough for a car to fit through
