I dont think their kits are very good quality, but i do like most of the designs they come up with.

Spotted a new front bumper by em on the stand. Looked well nice. They had about 4 bumpers for a corsa as well (Just the front!!!).

If only they were better quality.

Well i have got to say that a car has gone into RJ with a full kit from Calton they were not looking forward to fitting it, but as it happens it fits very very well like OE, but saying that his car was used to develop the kit.

In terms of fitting stay well clear to be honest, judging by the cars on show the weekend and other work i have seen.

YEah but ur missing one thing. They do do good designs, so when getting it fitted n sprayed, why not do it yourself or get a bodyshop to trim it and make it fit the car snugly?? Even my Irmscher airdam doesn't fit properly. Doesn't on any corsa, but i've had it cut to make it fit better. Still a slight gap, but not worried as its not bad.

Bumpers can be strengthend and mad to fit well if u pay that little bit extra!!! And paying that bit extra can be the difference between a crap modded car and a nice looking modified car!

exactly what i did, shame it took 15 hours and 4 tubs of filler to do it though only thing is since i got 17's ive had to move it fowards a bit so ive got to make up some new mountings, hopefully ill have it sorted for pv2003.

the bumper styles are great, like the vectra gsi stlye thats what i have,
yhe quality is poor! had to make up and weld my own fixings and it doesnt fit up to the arches at all and nor the wing
gaps not even! and it rubs when the bonnets shut
but i havent got time and money to smnooth the arches into the bumper to fill the gaps!

thats why you add filler to the bumper before it gets sprayed.
