It's not always about power, at the end of the day that is really meaningless, power only kills people,

Power only kills people ?.....er...ok, Sounds like someone has 290 Boss envy.

What other half decent body kits are there atm? Not much, C2R arn't that good; not many options.

If you think that Phantom xr6T below looks good then think about what you wrote, thats the c2r DJR kit. I think it looks awsome.

I dont think an xr should have a GT kit but i still might do it.

With the way laws are going and the state of our roads i think my 182 Kw underpowered rice box will do me just fine... If I wanted a V8 id be driving one. :tosser1:

Some of us seen more to life then how many KWs our cars are putting out on the dirt, i happen to be one of those people...

Mate an BA XR6 is a nice looking and powerfull car IMO, by your thinking you should be driving a Festiva.
It was not so long ago that all the factory V8's had less than 182kw, so are you saying a car is too powerfull only if it has more power than yours ?

Smoke Pursuit · 10-03-2005, 11:01 PM

Nah, all im trying to say is that power isnt really a condition of having a nice looking car...

Alot of people seem to have the idea that to dress a car up you have to make it go hard first, when really you don't.. You know the ole saying all show no go, well thats how alot of people see it.

Its individualized a little though. It doesn't have the bulge and it has different coloured highlights, different mesh and a different spoiler. Plus its a turbo and its got the balls to match the kit

Dez · 10-03-2005, 11:15 PM

my car is all show and no go....it dosent bother me though, if i wanted power at the time, i wouldnt have got an N/A 4cyl.

*rayman* · 10-03-2005, 11:17 PM

hey, it can't be as bad as the guys getting around here with big HSV stickers on the doors of their poverty pack lexcen's.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with their dub city 15" chromies

or full clubsport and senator kits on vr/vs shittadores that still retain their acclaim or executive badges

Thats not a GT kit, its a C2R kit. I've been in that car and it kicks ***!! Its like 425kw or something.. insane!!

Dez · 11-03-2005, 03:03 AM

yep. not a GT kit at all....c2r or Djr kit....

JC · 11-03-2005, 03:48 AM

Still looks good though - the point is, it's not an XR kit, so the point about it being a DJR or GT kit is irrelevant. Basically, it's trying to look like a car that it's not, and it does so very, very nicely!

technically, no....its actually the C2R aftermarket upgrade kit for the BA XR series.....then they decided that they'd use it for the DJR....it does have some differences though i think....the spoiler for 1.

I can't agree with you at all on that. One of the guys in my club owns a BA XR that has GT kit fitted, minus wing, and it is possibly the hottest looking BA around (no, not because of the body kit alone).

There's nothing wrong with fitting what you consider to be a better looking bodykit. The only time I think someone is a clown, is when they try and convince everybody they own a GT, when it isn't.

Hell.....I have XR stuff on my Ghia.....nothing wrong with that, as long as I don't bullshit about it.

Bucknaked · 11-03-2005, 08:36 AM

If I owned an XR6, I would rice it up to look like the real thing. Oh hangon, I already have a riced up XR6. Power to the people.

Time to build a bridge people. This arguement is getting old.

Perun · 11-03-2005, 09:14 AM

I think people need to realise that they're doing up their car for themselves, not the general public. If it tickles your fancy, do it, ragardless of what others think.

I wouldn't do it, but that doesn't mean that the rest of you shouldn't.

Enjoy your cars people.

Agreed, this argument is getting VERY old.
Do to your car as you choose... and accept that not everyone will like it, regardless of what you do.
Bucky is right, each to their own. He and I have similar cars however he has gone for looks, I have gone for power. So who's in the right?
Noone is. At the car shows, his makes mine look very ordinary... at the drags it would be the other way around.

So lets all move on and just deal with it. Your car, your choice.

Where can is get those stickers....

b2tf · 11-03-2005, 11:43 AM

Agree with Bucky on this one, however i have to say his car is ANYTHING but riced up. It's a bloody nice package overall.

SilverMustang · 11-03-2005, 11:44 AM

I'm not impressed....just by a GT

After voting "no way Jose!" I had a bit of a think and realised I'm jumping the gun here... carratt seems to have summed up my revised opinion.

It's one thing to do up a car with higher-spec bodykits, etc, but to claim one's car is something that it isn't (ie aforementioned badges), this will leave the owner open to ridicule.

However the KFC V8 Supercar "Cardboard-Fibre Wing" Volvo will always rule supreme :evilking:

XR-ENVI · 11-03-2005, 01:33 PM

Yeah it looks good, but also you dont wanna look like a try-hard by doing the whole lot. I actually wanted to put the gt front bar on my car but then the typhoons came out with them so changed my mind, i dont want it to look like i am trying to make it look like i have a typhoon. My sister had a xr6t when they first came out and put a gt rear spoiler on it and it made it stand out alot more from everyone elses. there are a few aftermarket body kits around. Like i said gt body kits do look good but....
