Body Kits Yes or No

I thought you were the police for a second there Broon.

You are adding weight and possibly drag. The only body kit I have ever put on a car is a front spoiler, this is a must for the F, a rather hurriedly designed car .. An F modded like this would probably lose value, it's a no nonsense sports car, not the car of choice for bad gangstas to bling up.
Tech bit. the Cd of a car is just that, a co effecient , something you multiply by . a dimensionless number. Tto get the drag force your engine has to overcome you multiply Cd by cross sectional area. I have seen body kits that claim to reduce Cd, but when you multiply the lowered Cd by the increased area hanging out in the wind you find the car has more drag, so slower and thirstier.
So short answer, no.

I can't wait to see your long answers Stan. :silly:

No. No, no, NO!

Except...

Broon, I'd sell your kidneys for that kit as well!!! :broon: :thumbsup: :broon:

Wouldn't go for a full bodykit...





Although this one looked promising till it was all painted up and then for some reason it looked a bit pants. If the bodykit had extended to the air intakes like the X-Power car then it might have swayed me.

The only bits I would put on right now are the Seat leon front splitter and the JDL spoiler, both have been proved to work, the front splitter via peoples experience and the lip spoiler by the MG TF 200 HDP.

Would probably stop short of cutting holes in my bonnet and diverting the air up through them, I've seen a few of the cut out bonnets, each to their own but they disturb probably the only flat surface left on my vehicle!

The splitter was most first ever darkside mod and was well worth it :broon:

So body kit is a no, off to look at candy paints again, black/red cracked ice is in the lead at the moment

I think the body Kit would ruin the look of your mint F tho candy paint black n red would look quality!

i was thinking of putting a spoiler on the TF untill i saw and it put me right off
2002 Rover MG TF 1.8 with Hardtop MGTF Excellent condition. X Power Grey Completed

That's a snow scoop not a spoiler :silly:

shocking it has spoiled the look of the car

No, dont do it Jan..your 'F' looks stunning just the way it is..

P.S. Although I do like the above blue car(apart from the doors), love the arches...

The Seat Leon spoiler/diffuser looks a lot neater on the TF. i just collected mine from the local SEAT dealer today .
