whats a wings west big mouth kit worth

Post by Rossco D » Wed Apr 26, 2017 9:28 pm

I recently got my hands on a full genuine wings west big mouth kit. I'm in two minds whether to fit it or sell it. It's the poly front bumper one. Not sure what the sides and rear are made of but I know new the kit was over 800 without shipping and tax. The kit itself is in good as new condition. Question is what do they go for?

in my experience if your selling its usually more than if your buying :lol:

Generally for wanted after market lip kits (including bumpers) you can say as a rule of thumb £100-£150 for each part (obviously the sides sold as a pair for that amount).

As a kit, I wouldn't expect to get much more than £300 though.

Sides and rear should sell easily and attract decent money.
Big mouth front bumper isn't to everyones taste, so probably harder to shift?
EDIT: Sorry, that doesn't help with giving you any actual numbers though :oops: :facepalm: :lol:

Yeah I thought roughly about that Nathan. I think I'm gonna fit the sides and rear with just a front lip. I'm probably going to sell the front bumper tbh. Maybe the wings west rs for a replacement. I do like the look of them.

Ive owned and sold two of these kits in the past :)

i rate wings west stuff as its top quality - the material its made from is almost indestructible ;)

The big mouth front bumper is worth around £80 collected /£120 shipped
Sides are £50 collected / £75 shipped
Rear Lip £50 collected / £75 shipped
Thruster Spoiler £50 collected / £75 shipped
WW Eyelids £35 collected / £50 shipped

This is just a rough guide based on what ive seen but as bodykits seem to be getting less and less popular prices may go down.
