This is for all those located in the UK, what kits have you got and where did you get them from? urls, prices?

I'm guessing everyone had to import a decent one if they didn't want to pay something extortinate within the UK?

Check out ebay, occassionally something on there, also will be links to the company making them, if you dont win the item at the time.

Other than that fensport are worth a look for their replica's etc, or try www.celica-club.co.uk, as they occassionally do Group Buys on kits and it works out pretty good.

The big problem with importing kits is that it costs a fortune in shipping and you're likely to get stung for duty/tax on it. Either way unless you get lucky and get in on a cheap Group Buy, you're probably looking at 600-700 quid for front bumper, rear bumper and sideskirts. May be an idea to try and get some stock sideskirts from a scrap yard or the like as they still look pretty good and will drop the cost a bit.

Cheers, Shortty, couldn't find any replicas on fensport, maybe thats me being blind.

Anyone had experiences importing a kit?

Sorry meant whifbitz, not fensport - try this http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/celica-bodykitreplica.htm

Bit more expensive than i thought - best bet will be the group buy currently running on www.celica-club.co.uk - not a bad club too for advice and stuff for the UK. Only prob with group buys is it tends to take a lot longer than just importing it yourself - but is cheaper.

Im in lboro, by the way - what colour is your car - might see it now and again! mines a dirty pre-face lift storm blue - only dirty cos of the rain at the moment, honest!

Ah thanks will check out these sites when i get home.

I'm only in Ashby a mear 20 mins away from Lboro (and will be there tonight actually!), i don't actually have a cele just yet but the savings account is growing, i thought seeing as it'll be a few months before i have all the cash i'd get a head start so i can dive straight in to modding when i get her.
