Full Body Kits with Bumpers

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

Full kit or separate parts — which 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 cheaper to upgrade them with add-ons: front bumper lip spoilers, rear diffusers, tuning side skirts, or spoilers. Complete bumpers are listed in “Front bumpers” and “Rear bumpers”, while conversion sets for updating to a newer model are in facelift kits.

What exactly is included in a body kit?

Every kit has its own configuration, so rely on the “Package contents” field on the product page, not only on 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 bumpers, add-ons for both bumpers, front grille, and front inner fender liners;
• BMW X5 F15 M-Sport — bumpers, side skirts, fender flares (4 pcs), and exhaust tips;
• Nissan Patrol Y61 Safari — complete bumpers, grille, headlights, tail lights, and reflectors.

The camera, parking sensors, and headlight washers are not included unless stated in the package contents. These components are usually transferred from the OEM parts, so check in advance whether the new bumper has mounting points for them.

How to choose a kit for your car?

Compatibility is determined by the body and model years, not the engine: a C63 AMG kit, for example, fits all Mercedes C-class W204 models from 2007–2015. It’s important 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 the 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 category: Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Lexus, Audi, Range Rover, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce.

What materials are the kits made from?

The base for most kits is ABS plastic and other plastics. In some sets, plastic parts are combined with aluminum, and full facelift conversions that include lighting and body panels are marked on product pages as “mixed materials”. Premium models are available in genuine carbon fiber: 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, there are GT4 and GT4RS kits made from ABS and carbon. Manufacturers in this category include GBT, 1234 Upgrade, GT Tuning, and DDCarbon.

How is a body kit installed?

The parts are designed to fit the factory mounting points of the specific body, but installation should be done by a body shop. The process is: remove the OEM bumpers and parts, test-fit the new parts, prepare for painting, paint to match the body color, and perform final installation. Test fitting is done before painting. You can install the kit at DD Tuning’s network of certified service centers — your manager will recommend the nearest one.
