Hey All

I have a 2001, 5 door 1.1 forte, and want to put VTR bumpers, sideskirts, wheelarches, alloys and exhaust on. I know where to get the parts cheap, but would like to know if they fit on the 1.1 forte??

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Ebay and other sites, including this one. Are you sure the side skirts will fit on, as mine is a 5 door?? And also the wheel arches?

They will fit on with modification as the VT kit is designed for 3 door models

Where can I find this VT kit? And how much is it?

what for a 5 door? No such thing..

What i mean is that you have to modify the VT kit to fit on a 5 door...

Oh i see. Hadnt i might aswell just get a small side skirt that fits 5 door? Sounds easier

It has been done before i will add. It just involves quite a bit of chopping of the kit to allow for the side doors to open as well as a bit of body filler....

How much would it cost me to have VTR bumpers, front and rear, side skirts, vtr spoiler fitted?

You can change the bumpers yourself easy enough... Just gotta buy them. Dunno how much they go for though, maybe £25 each, if that?

So do the VTR wheelarches fit on the 5 door Forte? And how easy are they to fit??

The front arches will fit yes, but its the front door panels and the rear arch bits that need altering :y:
