I was going to get a Rieger RS kit but i saw that it just bonds on over the original bumpers!? Just seems a bit well... I dunno, i would rather a replacement front and rear. Is there any other kit that is similar, or has anyone got any other suggestions? Want to try and keep the cost of the kit to under £500.

Cheers for the help

FK RS front is a replacement bumper and is similar and nicer IMO.



A rear is the explorer rear, its a full bumper the same as the rieger extension

Been looking around.... Its gonna cost soo much more to not buy the RS kit.. Has anyone got one? I've got a pre 97 car, so what am i gonna do about the center grill, as its part of the bumper? Will the bodyshop cut it out and mesh it for me?

RS kit = £419
FK front, Exp rear and RS skirts = £525

So how the hell does it go on? Where does it join to the standard front? And surely you can see the bottom part of the standard bumper through the mesh!? Or am i getting confused...

Looks gorgeous btw...

The line the runs above the number plate? Im guessing that MODDEDCORSAGSI's mate didnt have the rear smoothed in like the front? Just worried that the bodyshop's gonna fuck it up and its gonna cost loads more to fit and spray than a normal replacement kit...

i have other pics but they show how poorly the kit fits, in other words, unless u get a good body shop 2 start cuttin the excess bits of the edges and that then dont bother! but i suppose most aftermarked kits r like this, although my irmscher airdem fits perfectly

Bah, better do some thinking. Dont like most kits... Combat 2 looks a bit ott, Explorer kit, ummm dunno about front and havent seen the skirts. Combat 1, hate the front.

FK front/Exp rear and RS skirts looks like an easy way out to get a Rieger look, gonna be simpler and cheaper to fit etc as well.
