118TSI Votex and 18" rims

Took a drive out to Barloworld at Five Dock today to check this out, 118TSI with the full Votex Kit and 18" rims:

Would be nice if the 118 and the GTI were facing the same way. I'd like to truly compare two of the same colour - body kits and all. Nice rims, those.

Exactly what I was thinking!

That setup looks hot. In fact that is tempting my to consider the TSI with kit and wheels over a GTI. How much for the 2 options though? I would guess the kit is around 2k and the wheels around 4k? Anyone know?

Is the kit listed on Mavericks accessories listing at all? That'd give you a price plus estimated install time...

[MaccaTSI]

Bill Buckle quoted me $2745 for the full bodykit.

They also said the Topas 18" wheels were $2882. I'm not sure which wheels are on this car, but gives a rough idea of cost.

Does the $2745 for the bodykit include painting and fitting?

[MaccaTSI]

Spoke to a guy at BB who said that would be supplied, unpainted

[MaccaTSI]

Chatswood Classic said the kit might cost up to $2k to paint and fit, but she couldn't give me anything more than that because it is new and they don't know anything about it.

Maybe Barloworld will know, but I suspect that car came from the factory like that and they won't have anymore info either.

Result! Should have just ask Barloworld in the first place, very helpful.

They sell the kit for $2750. He said it comes primed but not painted.

They have a panel beater that they use for fitting and painting who does all their repair work and has already fitted a couple of kits as well. He said that costs about $800.

So all up, $3.5k for the full kit, painted and fitted.

I don't know anything about bodykits, is that a pretty standard price for one?
