Delta 3 kit I don't think they could be used now in an ironic way. Maybe another 7-10 years when finding one will be nearly impossible. As an aside i'm just trying to find out who owns their old unit where the kit cars were built, as it'd be just the right size for an Area 52 north and nobody has been in it for years. Matt

I love the fact the company adapted to go from kit car bodies to bodykits, I wonder what they are making now Never was a big Delta Kit fan, they used the front bumpers on anything and everything which is why I went for the slightly less (only slightly) in your face Animal kit lol Delta Nova Animal Fiesta however i thought it worked well on this escort in this guise.

wow i remember delta kits, liked them until they went odd looking ;D always liked this bumper, when it first came about still like this nova ;D i remember it on r5s, novas , pugs, clios. you name it , it was on it fashions come and go, then become retro and people do them again. give it a year or two , maybe more and big wheels will be back again, people will get bored of all the dished , stretch , banded stuff and go bigger just to be different to every one else. everythings been done before , you just have to wait for it to come round again

They're now called Carlton Motorsport, not sure what they do though.

They were the first to put a Nova on 19s, and made ''their style'' front bumper for many cars.

Yup Kingdom and Carlton were the kings of huuuuuuuuuuuge bumpers. Stop posting them you're making me want one lol. I reckon they'll be back in fashion at some point in the near future. "Euro" look has now become the modified style of choice, meaning there'll be loads of half arsed examples round and people will get bored.

I like these ;D The capri one looks real nice from the front (rather datsun 260 ?? ) not so keen on the rear though (MGB rear window?) looks rather fussy tp me, side wiew is spot on as well

The Carrera doesn't look too bad out of all of them in all fairness.
The Delta kits are of an aquired taste still though methinks! Maybe in a few years time...
