Cerikbok Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Minor changes of course. I like the sleek look of it. However I am arguing with myself about degrading an already ultra rare front bumper.

evinX Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Go for it, its all about adding your extra touch, its not anyone elses bumper so do it:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerikbok Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Go for it, its all about adding your extra touch, its not anyone elses bumper so do it:D True, but I just feel sort of wrong molesting a piece of Supra history ^ ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I would say that they add a ceratin degree of support/stability and maybe getting rid would compromise the integrity of the bumper? Then again....knock yourself out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 im with ili on this taking out those supports will in the end weaken the support of the bumper itself and you may open yourself up to the bottom panels flexing and turning upwards slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Noooooooooooooooo!!!!! Tbh doesn't make a great deal of difference. I would leave it as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 True, but I just feel sort of wrong molesting a piece of Supra history ^ ^ Sod it, abflug molested the supra when it first came out...stop trying to be a hero saving the bumper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Noooooooooooooooo!!!!! Tbh doesn't make a great deal of difference. I would leave it as is Yea on the other hand, it really doent make much different removing or adding a bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I like the modified one, it's much smoother, your choice, I wouldn't worry about the whole 'it's a classic' thing, it's your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I say keep as is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 keep it as it is mate....my brother has this bumper on his and as its low hes always catching it and repairing it! it has cracked on him a few times around the part where you were going to modify it. so it must add a bit of strength/support....

Thanks for the first hand advice! The repair bill on it keeps climbing, might just bin it and go with the TS front [sAD][/sAD] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for the first hand advice! The repair bill on it keeps climbing, might just bin it and go with the TS front [sAD][/sAD] TS front is nice too but the abflub is rare. ive only seen 2 or 3 with it on. plus the TS one does sit lower and it comes out more on the front so if you have speed humps around etc... if your cars lowered of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah I'd bin it too.....wanna borrow my bin? I'm looking for a 'different' front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robzki Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 haha, tbh I'm looking for a project so if you do decide to have a change. I would have to respray any aftermarket bumper as silver doesn't seem to be the 'in' colour, so repairs are always feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 instead of removing the cross bit just paint it black, means you have the strength and it looks like it is not there. simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Here's one I modified on my previous Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerikbok Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Looks like my idea was not original at all!! Just been told it is going to cost far more to fix than just to replace.
