[s-cars] Seidl Body Kit Update (Answers to Questions)

[Saltino Tom (adm1txs)]

<snip>

Question: Will this bolt up to Euro struts only? If so will those be
included? Or can this bolt to North American struts?
Seidl: It doesn't matter which struts the car have (Euro or America). Our
body kit will fit.

My .02,

How can they say "it doesn't matter"?!  The US mounts and euro mounts are
very different.  In the front the bumper mounts differently and they are
different lengths.  The rear mount is also totally different.  I would think
that it does matter what mount is used.  Seidl must be using Alta Vista
translator to answer your questions.

With that being said not to worry the euro mounts are cheap anyway.

Take a look at my site http://quattro.polter.net

http://quattro.polter.net/day2/day2.htm
and
http://quattro.polter.net/rearwhdwr.jpg.  The funky black tubular pieces are
the mounts for the rear.

S-Heads,

Seidl call me as promised (I like that !), we only talked shortly and agreed
it's best to continue our discussions by e-mail. They said they are pleased
we have shown an interest and will try to answer any further questions we
have.

Questions and responses:

Question: What is the cost for the kits or individual pieces (any group
pricing available?)
Seidl: We have already talked to company Strictly-foreign in the US and they
told us that they will make a special price for you.

Question: Could we get a full kit sent to US or Canada?
Answer: Strictly-foreign in the US has already ordered a complete body kit.
They will contact you as soon as they get it.

Question: Will this bolt up to Euro struts only? If so will those be
included? Or can this bolt to North American struts?
Seidl: It doesn't matter which struts the car have (Euro or America). Our
body kit will fit.

Question: Is their availability of a splitter for there front bumper?
Seidl: No sorry, we don't have a splitter.

Question: Is the lower front outside gills or outside front openings ducted
(vented) for the brakes or side intercooler?
Seid: The gills are vented for both: brake and intercooler.

Question: Can the rear bumper be modified to remove the gills or be straight
across?
Seidl: It can be modified - but you would have to do it yourself. We don't
do it.

Question: Can you verify that the Front bumper will fit an intercooler that
measures:  (A)75-100mm thick X (B)260-310mm tall X  (C)620 650mm wide
intercoolers situated in front of the condenser/radiator from the bottom (B)
measuring up.
Seid: Yes, an intercooler with such measures will fit our body kit. Of
course you will have to find the right position for it.

Question: Is it possible to take some detailed pictures?  Picture of all
sides of un-mounted bumpers: From top down and bumper support.  If you still
have a car available with the body kit on it, could you take more pictures
for us?
Seidl: I will send some more pictures next week.


James: To see the current pictures they have already sent me:

<http://www3.sympatico.ca/wadleigh/Seidl_Pics/>  I'll post any further pics
when they send them to me. So who's going to be the first to check this kit
out when it arrives !?

Have a good weekend !

Cheers, /James.

P.S. I might have missed some questions, if so I will try and get them
answered next week, if you have any further questions just let me know.
