[ditch the kit]

HI, I am interested in purchasing a 2017 corolla IM because I want a reliable simple hatchback. I would prefer to lose the body kit to make the car look more like the European Auris www bestcarsview.com/images/Toyota%20Auris%20exterior%20Design.jpg(wont let me post the link). Specifically i would like to remove the side and rear body kit pieces that make the car lower. My question is, am i able to remove these pieces? And if so, are the panels painted under these pieces? Will there be noticeable holes in the body where these pieces attached?

Ideally i would also like to order a auris bumper cover i guess from somewhere in europe and slap it on. Im assuming it should fit right? They seem like the same cars besides for a few extra panels.


Thank you for your time.

As far as we know the Auris is a near match to the iM, so swapping bumpers should be fairly easy.

As to the side skirts, they do come off. One of mine was damaged upon initial inspection and they had to order a new one and installation was pretty easy.
