Full Body Kits with Complete Bumpers

A full body kit with complete bumpers is a set of exterior parts installed instead of the factory ones: a complete front and rear bumper assembly and, depending on the kit, side skirts, a diffuser, a grille, fender flares, or exhaust tips. Restyling kits may also include headlights, tail lights, a hood, or fenders. This gives the car the look of a sporty trim (AMG, M-Sport, RS, R-Line, SVR, TRD) or a newer generation of the same model. Unlike lip and diffuser kits, here the bumper is replaced entirely rather than upgraded with an add-on.

Full kit or separate parts — what should you choose?

A full kit is chosen to change the entire look of the car: all parts share one design, so the front, sides, and rear look cohesive. If the factory bumpers suit you and you only want an accent, it’s more affordable to add attachments: front bumper lip spoilers, rear diffusers, tuning side skirts, or spoilers. Individual complete bumpers are available in “Front bumpers” and “Rear bumpers”, and conversion sets for updating to a newer model are in restyling kits.

What exactly comes in a body kit?

Each kit has its own configuration, so rely on the “Package contents” field on the product page, not just the photos. A few examples from the catalog:

• Mercedes C-class W204 in C63 AMG style — front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts;
• Toyota Land Cruiser 300 WALD — complete front and rear bumper assemblies, add-ons for both bumpers, front grille, and front inner fenders;
• BMW X5 F15 M-Sport — bumpers, side skirts, fender flares (4 pcs), and exhaust tips;
• Nissan Patrol Y61 Safari — complete bumper assemblies, grille, headlights, tail lights, and reflectors.

A camera, parking sensors, and headlight washers are not included unless specifically listed in the package contents. This equipment is typically transferred from the factory parts, so check in advance whether the new bumper has mounting points for it.

How do you choose a kit for your car?

Compatibility is determined by the body and production years, not the engine: a C63 AMG kit, for example, fits all Mercedes C-class W204 models from 2007–2015. It also matters whether your car is pre-facelift or facelift: for Golf 7 there are separate kits “for 2013–2017” and “for 2017–2020”, and for Passat B8 — “for 2015–2020” and “for 2020+”. Also check whether you have a base or sport trim, and whether the car has parking sensors, a camera, and headlight washers. The easiest way is to start with the “Make / Model” filter or go to your brand section: Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Lexus, Audi, Range Rover, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce.

What materials are the kits made from?

Most kits are based on polypropylene (PP) and other plastics: polypropylene bumpers are more flexible and handle impacts better, and before painting they are primed with an adhesion promoter for PP. In some sets, plastic parts are combined with aluminum, and full restyling conversions that include lighting and body panels are labeled on product pages as “mixed materials”. For premium models, versions made of genuine carbon fiber are available: LRT Carbon for Mercedes GLE Coupe C292, GL/GLS X166, and V-class W447; MNSR Carbon in forged carbon; and BRB 800 Carbon for G-class W465. For Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman, GT4 and GT4RS kits are available in polypropylene and carbon. Brands in this category include GBT, 1234 Upgrade, GT Tuning, and DDCarbon.

How is a full body kit installed?

The parts are designed to fit the factory mounting points for the specific body, but installation is done by a body shop. The process is: removal of the factory bumpers and parts, test fitting the new parts, prep for painting, painting to match the body color, and final installation. Test fitting must be done before painting. You can install the kit at DD Tuning certified service centers — your manager will tell you the nearest one.
