If your going to kit it, use something that looks half decent. Rieger, Irmscher etc.

If you want a 'big' kit i'd say there were better ones out there than the one you've pictured. If done properly they can look good like Corbs and thecorsaals!

in answer to your question, you pay several hundreds of pounds for something that really costs about £10 to make and the shops buy for about £10 more than that, so like £230 mark up, do you think its worth it
downgrading your bumpers etc

YES!! Thats one of my favourites. Theres also the irmscher bumpers or add-on lips. They look stunning, but are hard to get hold of.

The 2nd one you posted looks better, but still not a big fan of the rear bumper.

I would personally get the Reiger front, extend the standard rear bumper and use GSi skirts
