So i desperately need a body kit for my ES. Ive looked at and got a quote from X-Factor but just want to know where else i can get something different from for a relatively cheap price...

Painted and ready to go you are probably looking at X-Factor
Concord Customs can get the Talon stuff.....
Ofey can get stuff out of Singapore / Malaysia......
JUSTJDM can get stuff out of Japan.....
Just a matter of finding something you like, and that doesn't cost a bomb!!
Ofey has a thread in the groupbuy section outlining some of the things he can get....

Bodykit implies to me Front bumper, Back bumper and sideskirts
Be difficult for me to help at < A$700 since the stuff I can hook you up with are from Singapore/Malaysia.
For that kind of money, you will need to be buying locally. Try Chris from Concord Customs. Don't forget that some body parts come in fibreglass and you might have to grind them to fit. Kits also come usually PRIMED. NOT painted. So you have to factor in fitting and painting.
Good luck!

Not a full body kit. At the moment just looking at front and sides

Still hard at < A$700. I suggest you take up Shadow's X-Factor offer.

Fitting is so bad.
I asked them to fit a fibreglass bumper for me before.
funny, they cut some sections of my old bumper and stuck the new bumper on top of my old bumper, and claims thats how its meant to be done..
LOL.
