Just wondering if anyone has seen the Caractere kit fitted or has an opinion on it?

Toying with the idea of having it fitted (plus some nice new stainless tailpipes) as well as some new ICE.

Cheers.

Yeah that's what I thought. Was just thinking of the front and rear sections though as I am not that keen on side skirts or roof spoilers.

I called to enquire on a price and availability and was told by the sole UK distributor that they have only sold one kit so far - so still quite rare. Think I will go for it :shock:

Nice one! I am not too keen on side skirts though so I will probably just stick with the front and rear.

Did you have any problems getting the Caractere parts? I have called the sole UK distributor but they didn't seem overly interested in doing business and didn't even bother calling me back! Normally I would just take my business elsewhere but they are the only distributor :?
