Title: who has got the MS-bodykit?
Post by: icatcher on November 20, 2008, 19:15:21: A time ago I saw a picture of a red i-30 on the forum with a bodykit (I thought it was the MS-bodykit). I can't find it anymore now...
I'd like to ask the owner: what is the space between the bottom of the bodykit (frontbumper) and the street-surface? Is there much difference with the original bumper? Here in the Netherlands we have a lot of 'thresholds' in the streets, and I'm not sure if a bodykit would survive these. :o
Can anyone help me? Thnx!

Right I have just been out in the snow to measure that for you, see how kind we are???

The distance from the road to the bottom of the MS bumper is about 165mm on a car with the MS 18" alloys, this would obviously alter a little depending on your wheels.

In the UK we have many speed bumps planted strategically all over our city streets to prevent speeding and I have had no issues going over any of these mountains!!

Shambles, Eye30 and fatboydave, the snow is here now and coming your way, time to test the ESP!!

Cheers
Brian

Post by: icatcher on November 25, 2008, 16:59:37: Thanks Bumpkin for going into the snow.
I've got the 17" wheels, but I don't think that'll make any difference. Good to know that you have these annoying speed bumps as well. Thought they invented these things in Holland only... :evil:
With 165 mm there will be a difference of about 55 mm. I doubted if I would have a bodykit, but with this information I can make up my mind better :idea:
Thanks again!
