R334 - Motorkitz

[oweban]

So. I've been in a bit of an accident today, and as a result now have to replace front bar, fenders (possibly, not definite), headlights, bonnet, and I've recently discovered, radiator too (intercooler pushed back into radiator ).

I figure if I've got to get all that, part of me is just screaming to get the R334 kit from Motorkitz (www.motorkitz.com for those not in the know), but with the C-West front bar, and nice smooth fenders. (Would prefer a GTR style bar, but I'll see what's available).

By rights, once I've got the metalwork all fixed up (as there was a bit of bendys in the.. ahh I dunno what it's called. The big metal bar that the bonnet lift-holder-thingy sits in), I'll be getting a new kit.

Anyone got one of these? I'm thinking of getting the CF bonnet to save a bit on painting, but if it's in my interest I'll probably just go for the fiberglass one, and then I guess I'll be looking for flush pins, as for less attention.

Any thoughts?

its expensive, not a job that just involves swapping panels. Also getting the parts is expensive aswell (head lights are over $500 alone)

How big of a crash was it? If you've done a bit of damage then might be better to not spend the $10k on the conversion

Well the front bar is a complete loss (but it was shit anyway, no biggie), my driver's side headlight is gone, bonnet is gone, and the bit between bonnet and front bar is gone. Need to get metal straightened, and the lip around the drivers headlight where the fender goes into a point is all curled up... Yeah, I haven't slept yet so I've been thinking about just going 400R front bar and not getting the full kit.
