Personally I detest after market bodykits so perhaps I shouldn't reply? Your Capri looks lovely though. Cosmetically I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps lowering it a touch.

No kit EVER looks good on a Capri, all the kitted ones you see on ebay are mind-warpingly hideous. DO NOT PUT A KIT ON IT!!

Keep it as is but maybe bring the nose down a touch. Looks ace and really clean!

No, don't do it.
To my eyes at least your Capri looks pretty much spot on, a bodykit will not make it look better.

Not a big bodykit fan, and especially not on a Capri. If it was my toy I'd either
A. Leave it as Mr Ford intended but add some lowness
B. Lose all the side trim, pinstripes etc and maybe even the bumpers, add some smoothness and lowness etc for a bit of "euro look"

Very nice! Now be rid of those badges on the grill! The car looks great,glad you decided against a full body kit,some rear window louvres would go down nicely tho!

That's a real nice Capri you have. I would definitely leave the car as is, perhaps lowering it a wee bit as has been said already
