ben1985 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just had a Whifbitz front fitted to my car by ToyotaGT. I think they did a fantastic job and am happy with the final look. I need to get some clear indicators and facelift headlights to finish the front. Has anyone got any thoughts on the best place to fit the front number plate? Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looking good mate Clear indicators will make a fair difference Bit much mesh for my liking possibly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1985 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I thought that myself actually. Was expecting just to cover where the intercooler would be, not the side parts. Just more incentive to save for an fmic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Love the bumper but all too silver for me, i would have opted for black mesh and then the facelift lights would have tied it all in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broomie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) ive got that front on mine mate have a look in my garage for plate position! best front imo, much better than the usual do-luck that everyone goes for For some reason your bumper has different size indicator holes than mine and therefore has non standard size indicators and to be honest i think youll struggle to find clear indicators that size!

imi Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Not a fan of that front at all mate I can see where you are coming from. If one must go for an aftermarket bumper, then that particular one in my opinion works well with dark colours, ideally with Black, perhaps with Gunmetal too. not a fan of the mesh....would improve if it were black - maybe. Job looks good though; What matters is that the owner like it. imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looks a lot better on Broomies, the lack of mesh & facelift indicators are what do it IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragaz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Is rescueable by Painting the mesh black I think, would improve it so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think it looks a bit like a airfix model Supra with that front and silver mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ben Hey - they should have been repairing MY car! Pretty much what everyone else has said - get rid of the mesh, and replace it with black mesh...

Luka-P Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It's ok but I'd get the mesh gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I quite like it...but i can see where everyone else is coming from and i do think the one you had on before looked good too so didnt see the need for a change! Your drive looks exactly the same as mine with the beamer on it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 not keen on the mesh, as said too much silver and it makes it look like the covering of a loud speaker ! maybe if you did the mesh a darker colour, maybe a darker shade of gray, black would look to harsh, i take it theres a lack of intercooling going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleland Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I fixed mine using a r32 mount, you could adjust the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty supra Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I like it and can see why you wanted to change. the doluck bumper is the new veilside-everyone has one! (even me, but was on the car when i got it and really want to change it) I would say yes change the mesh to black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Quite like the bumper, but a word of warning, that mesh may be to fine, and as a consequence could restrict the amount of air flowing through the rad etc, so keep a close eye on temps when the weather warms up.

marcAB10 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 change the mesh and your onto a winner also i'd place the numberplate where the standard bumper has it. (perhaps controversial but i'd put the Toyota badge back on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
