Maybe it's because I don't like the colour but for whatever reason the TWR kit looks wrong on it IMO. I know my Si is a similar colour if not the same, don't like that either. :D
Have to disagree Chris the TWR kit looks s**t hot on the Vitesse, would like to see it in bright red though like the Pond IOM one

In theory it does look good, I think it's because I don't like the colour.

I positively hate those body kits, doesn't anyone else think they look so plastic and add on.
The wheel spats and rear spoiler are enough on a Vitesse or any 800.

Less is more.

They ARE plastic and add-on, but I still like them!

I think they suit the Fastback but not the saloons. I also think they make the car heavier and possibly slower. I think their aerodynamic efficiency is also questionable and doubt they were ever designed to improve that aspect of the car. Silly 1980's nonsense really. Here's a better shot of my Vit with the Kit. I think a lighter color suits the kit better.

Couldn’t agree more, they certainly do suit the car, as it did on mine, before it got ruined :(

I do think they suit fastback more than anything but I do like them on the saloons aswell.

They certainly were not designed for performance gains, as many of you should know, the 1980's was all about the looks, money, big hair, big suits (Which I particularly liked 8) )

What most yuppies wanted in the 1980’s was big money, big hair, big suits, and a big car with a big, plastic bodykit to make it look good, for the 80’s at least - (A look of which I have tried, on more than one occasion, and failed, to re-create) the bodykit was nothing more than what the shoulder pad was to 1980's blazers!

Long live the 80's!! 8) - with the cool Raybans!
