Anybody got any experience with this type of kit - bhalay207 - 16:th-Sep-2015 I want an xp kit on my J and have come across the kit below on fleabay. Has anybody got any experience of this kit regardless of model? It's more the quality of the material I'm questioning. I'm going to assume it's not a patch on what Vauxhall would provide. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171645748447&alt=web Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: Anybody got any experience with this type of kit - tucpal - 16:th-Sep-2015 fiberglass copy cheap kit but not OEM quality dont no anyone that has gone for it as yet RE: Anybody got any experience with this type of kit - Bloopeta - 16:th-Sep-2015 Usually fibreglass copies take alot of adjustment to get a good fit RE: Anybody got any experience with this type of kit - bhalay207 - 16:th-Sep-2015 What about durability?

Would you stear clear?

It chips easily and badly, and if you catch say a lower splitter on a curb, it doesnt scrape like plastic it shatters. Last thing I used was a pair of corner splitters on the front of my 320d m sport, got sick of filling chips n repainting so I wrapped them in carbon fibre to make more durable. Personally, I wouldnt touch it mate RE: Anybody got any experience with this type of kit - bhalay207 - 16:th-Sep-2015 That's fair enough. Cheers mate, really useful!
