Vettel body kit, at last

[GEE50FX]

What I meant was can we just keep our factory fog lights and install the front?

The FX's from Canada have to keep the fogs since they are the Daytime Running Lights or set up some other lights so they are always on as per our laws here.

We can have LEDs as DRL, just like Audi. and have it wired where fogs would be. That way they'll be on all the time.

That works :good:

Can anything be done with the rear bumper to add something like the stock mudflaps? it looks kinda empty between the rear tire and rear bumper, like something is missing.
What needs to be done to remove the stock black plastic bit in the rear?

I think the front lip from the center is kinda high, i think if it went littil lower it ll be nicer, the rear kits need to be exteneded from the side by somehow, cuz from the look , it is not appearing that I did installed a body kits.
The f1 brakes, prefer to have it to be shown more like the Vettel body kits.
Nic work guys, all the best..
It is just my opinion

[GEE50FX]

I think if it ll be integrated with OEM bodykits in the back it look better.

The thing is that you always look at the car from the top, believe me, when you see it in real life it looks just right, we can't call it an actual Vettel body kit, Vettel style maybe.
A Lot of work was made guys, a lot of designs tested, with the front lip lower, or extended outwards it just don't look right and ruins the whole look, besides aicraft engineer who used to design airframes made it aerodynanically perfect, it does cool the brakes, and it does increase aerodynamics.
Though it's very comfortable to drive in means that you're still gonna be able to go a little off road without harming the bodykit ( not lowered though ).
You see me and friend Boris, really wanted to create something unique, with affordable price, for the vehicle that you use everyday, and it was very important for us, not to lose that "utility" function of this car, because let's say in our country , just like in Canada in winter we get a lot of snow, and roads are getting screwed, and as per me Its not a good idea to turn your car into snowplow.
So basically we made a body kit that increase aerodynamic, braking performance and look, without decreasing its utility performance.
If roads and weather conditions in your state let's you just buy the springs or BC coilovers and you will be more than happy.
Sorry for the large speech, but you know when you put your soul in your creation, it always touches you.

x37sUkraine, I appreciate you trying to address all the concerns and the amount of work you guys have put into the creation of this body kit.
- Will you be addressing the rear diffuser suggestions where the lack of mudflap has made it look kinda empty?
- Will the rear brake light on the diffuser be made to look like the Vettel edition brake light?
- And have you found any REALLY bright LEDs for the front? I looked up the OSRAM option and it doesn't look as bright as I would like it to, been searching the web for an alternative but any tip is welcomed.
- Any updates on pricing and availability in Canada/US?

 

[fx37sUkraine]

1. The rear diffuser mud flap issue, sorry for that but I can't really understand what are you talking about, can you post some pictures showing what you really want to see?.
2. We are currently working on f1 brake light, and it's going to be exactly the same as Vettel.
3. We decided to design our own front leds that will combine leds and fog lights in the same style as Vettel.
4. It will be available in US and Canada in about 5 weeks estimate, can't be 100% sure about that though.
The price will be available as soon as kit will be completed.
Once again it's not going to be superexpensive. Below 2000$ and above OEM aero kit Shipped to US or Canada.
Can't tell you the exact price for now because we need to solve the issue with : front leds, f1 brake light, lower grill, packaging and stuff.

There's a company called MEEST express that ships goods from Ukraine to Canada, I've spoke to them and there are going to be no problems, it takes about 2 weeks to ship, also there's going to be 2 years free replacement warranty on the kit.

One of the pictures shows a non-Vettel (if you call it that lol) with the rear mudflap extended below the rear bumper; and the other picture shows the Vettel edition without the mudflap. I hope it gives you an idea on.

When designing your own LEDs, how many LEDs per side are you designing and what is the wattage gonna be like? Just want a very bright option. Since those are not easy to reach to repair/replace I'm hoping they're waterproof/sealed and of very high quality for both front and rear. It would also be good if the customer has an option to choose LED only, round fog light only; or combined LED/round fog light option (3 choices if possible).
Just out of pure curiosity, what would it cost to have the kit (specially the front and rear, not so much the side skirts) made of carbon fiber?

 

[Andor]

I am interested in the kit .

 

[fx37sUkraine]

1. About the mudflap.
The mudflap is not going to be included in the kit, but If you want to have one, you can install the stock one, it should fit.
2. About the front/rear leds.
We are currently in the process in choosing/developing our own leds for the front. It will be actually easier for us to get smth already existing, maybe get the kit with no front leds and let everyone choose by themselves, what do you think about it? Also if you want to suggest some leds it would be very helpful.
As for the rear led, we currently developing one that looks exactly like Vettel/f1 brake light, quality will be outstanding for sure, a warranty comes for the whole kit so no need to worry about anything.
3. Leds/Fogs option.
Have a close look at the front lip 3d model, I think it has all answers for your questions

4. Carbon version of the kit.
We can make a carbon version of it, and it's gonna run about twice the price, so here are the answers why we didn't do it:
- 1. Price around 3800$ for the whole kit.
- 2. Pain in the ass to make it (at least for now)
- 3. With time carbon fiber loses its color and gets dull with UV affecting it.
- 4. If you break it it's gonna cost you time+money, around 800$ for the part shipped.
- 5. So yeah, we can do it but as per me, it's not a good idea.

Thanks for providing the details. I know a CF kit would cost a lot and not easy to maintain in long term depending on build quality. The question was merely to satisfy my curiosity.
The rear LED would definitely have to be something custom made, haven't found any ready-made ones online. Personally I would forego the front fog lights and stick with LEDs only, but its good to have both options for people who prefer both or just the round fog lights.
I have ordered 2 LED kits from eBay. They're very cheap. The reason I bought them is to find out how bright they are as well as the color (5k, 6k, etc) to see if it matches the color of my fogs and headlight. I'll provide pics and updates once they're received, but it won't be for another 3-4 weeks because shipping from China is slow. Here are the links:

Will the kit come already ready for paint or will I have to prepare it for paint?
If at all possible, can you include a brief about how to take off the stock rear black diffuser to install the new kit.

 

[fx37sUkraine]

Thanks for helping us man!
Kit will come ready for paint, have you seen the 3d model of the kit? We're thinking of cf add on to front lip, gonna send you 3d model soon

Once I get the kit they'll be painted flat black and maybe wrapped with CF wrapping. That way the wrapping can be peeled if it gets damaged in the winter.

 

[iDrive]

Excited to see this finished! Was just wondering if you didnt already answer this. Will you we be able to buy this in separates lets say just the front?

 

[HumbertoCALI]

Love the Rear End... Not much of a fan of the front end ..... hachoo the Work
