The Raven Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Righty dont know that to do, A long long time ago i swapped an MR2 for colins front bummer seen here Now do i fit it or keep mine as is. What are they both worth? What im aiming to do is to sell the stock + lip and use that to pay for paint on this one. Or sell the Bomex and use it to buy spacers and odds and sods Edited July 21, 2014 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sell the bomex, and the lip, buy a deeper lip and enjoy. that's me 2p worth. Car looks lovely just think the lip is to shallow and make the car look far too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 That would be an option but marcAB10 gave the lip thats on it because he never thought it would ever fit, Needless to say it fits now but wont ever come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I would go with the bomex or a lower lip the front looks quite high compared to the rest of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Few bits done today after work. Made the piping from the crappy induction kit fit the stock airbox. And tinted the rear lights until i can afford facelifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I found this awful picture of the old clocks from the engine, 81560 km At time of install. That said matt more or less rebuilt the thing anyway. I will take a shot of its milage on the shell then i will be able to keep track of the milage on the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) What ba stupid idea that was. Well my bonnet and mirror and bomex front are going in for paint tomorrow. So i made my mind up to remove the old front and take the faclift bits out. The weather isnt to bad.....How wrong was i! I now wet though to the skin. Having cut myself so bad i need superglue to hold it together. The stupidest thing? I decide to take a looky at the bomex bolted up. An hour in rain i give up and come in.............yeah you guessed it i didnt know the crash bar has to come off.......im not going back out there now! Screw that Edited August 10, 2014 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) OK well the sun came out. So test fitted with 3 blots and its perfect, it came from colin so no big surprise there! I also have the fog lights to go in the holes and wiring. Edited December 31, 2017 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never look back, plus they seem to last the longest compared to all the other types out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Previous bumper was much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 It really didnt go with the rest of the kit, the lip was to small making the front to high. With all the vents and the different spoiler it was to subtle for the car IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamron Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looks sweet! Just out of interest, which fogs do you have on there? It's a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have no idea they came with the bumper i will ask colin when i see him, he has a harness to wire them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamron Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have no idea they came with the bumper i will ask colin when i see him, he has a harness to wire them in Ha...no dramas. Still looks great! Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Still kinda makes me laugh the bumper was a trade for a MR2. So at long last im happy with the body and kit. The engine is still purring so i guess the only thing left to do is BPU. Im collecting bits as and when i get some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Car looks fantastic mate, that bumper really has changed the look of the car. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Going over to see colin tomorrow as i cant make head nor tail of his foglight loom. Just worked out i have no boot rubbers......at all removed them when it was painted. Would explain the rattle in the boot, while i save some cash for them i will just turn the radio up a bit to drown it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
