    Wide arch Tigra

    Hi, This is the same kit, not sure if I bought from here, mine came from Portugal. I didn't use the full kit, just what you see on the car. http://www.carstyleplus.co.uk/Vauxhall_Tigra/vauxhall_tigra.html

    Vinyl roofs and bonnets

    Hi, fake carbon fibre is generally naff, the vinyl on here seems better, but check out the real carbon skining. Anyone got any views on this for a Tigra roof? http://carbonmods.co.uk/Products/Carbon-Fibre-Skinning-Starter-Kit__CMCFSK300.aspx Watch the vid, very educational.
