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!! Normally i would be standing behind you with the mob waving my pitchfork at the mention of a bodykit but this is the capri and retro rides not vw scene weekly so on this occasion i will give you ....... this

get some nice 175/50 or 165/55 tyres on the starmags and then drop, and it would look stunning. no need for a bodykit at all

no, don't do that! it looks silly! the wheels get lost in the arch, i had 185/60s on the front of mine and even they looked a little too small!

^ This man is in the know ^ That white capri is perfect. Where do you live so I can steal it? Or if you ever decide to sell it, let me know

Kits that sole use is to fit huge wheels in are a bit differernt to the full skirts and bumpers rubbish that was so prevelant in the 90's :-)

thankyou for good comments, I may lower an inch tyres on back are close to inner arch already I reckon it's only the front that needs a slight drop. Gotta say that XR3 spoiler look pretty good.

i'm gonna butt in on this one. i can't think of a single kitted capri that doesn't look totally naff. some cars are begging for kits and benefit from them but a mk3 capri actually looks pretty damn good anyway. the smoother and cleaner the better in my opinion. i'll just drop these here!
