Hi all, is it possible to buy the Hst body kit and if so from where. Want to upgrade the look of my car and it's either hst as I already have the wheels or updated to post 2010 front bumper and tailgate trim.
It's a 2008MY
Opinions gratefully received.

Cheapest way to do it is keep an eye out on fleabay. You may get lucky and find someone selling the complete kit but more than likely you'll need to buy it bit by bit.

You can buy all the parts through Dan@duckworths on the forum. but don't expect it to be cheap.

There are bits come up individually on fleabay but they are rare, and you can buy cheap Chinese copy HST/Dynamic bits off the tinterweb but by all accounts they are cheap for a reason !

My suggestion would be to upgrade the front bumper (you can buy for around £120 from fleabay, plenty on there) and then upgrade the front/rear lights including the high level brake light to a clear one.

Look at getting the roof spoiler fitted, and then maybe colour coding and side vents changing depending on what the car colour is.

I did the colour coding, spoiler and side vents to my 2008 GS and it definitely freshened it up.

Thanks for the input, my original idea was to upgrade the look to the 2011MY but was worried how it would look with the hst alloys, hence the question about the hst kit. I think I'll go down the 2011MY freshen up that you suggest and maybe sell my hst alloys and get some newer style ones, evoque maybe?

your alloys are spot on mate, if you like the look of them then keep them,

ive seen a couple of pre 2011 models driving around with the 2011MY grill and lights and they look like a new car. If you put a private plate on then you couldn't tell the difference (unless you looked at speedo/rev counter etc)
