scotty_1987 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Getting more and more tempted to change my body kit, the front bumper, always catches on kerbs mainly, when i turning around or parking, starting to annoy me alot lol, ive got the suspension so i can get over speed bumps ok, unless they are the monster speed bumps then i scrape. Just not sure what to go with. any ideas? looks like this at the mo and i dont want to change my wing, so dont think oem with a nice lip is gonna look right.

jazz1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Mine never catches check my garage how low mine is.... Looks nice now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Looks great as it is. Not the most practical though with the state of our roads. I would be tempted to keep it as it will cost serious money to change it and then you still may not like it. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Looks good how it is and if you change it you will proberbly have the same issue anyway as you are lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Really like the look of it now mate. Most supra bumpers catch as they overhang so much and most of the cars are so low Edited July 15, 2012 by Jamesy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Loving that dude, keep the front bumper and reinforce the bottom like a few people on here have done. P.s. What wheels are those ? seriously nice looking car though mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If you do change the front don't go OEM as it won't go with that rear wing. To be honest it looks great as it is. Catching the front bumper is always going to happen its just one of those things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Love the look of that, any more pics? keep it as is and just be more careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 you can get single front end kits that raises the car, i was talking to a lad last night who has a golf with airbag suspension, he says the ride hasn't really changed from his coilovers unless he is riding it high (which looks stupid). i know a few top end cars have the ability to raise the front end a few inchs, maybe worth a look instead of changing that gorgous looking motor.

scotty_1987 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks for all the positive comments guys, i do love it as it is, so will probably end up keeping as it is, guess i need to be a bit more careful , and not let it annoy me when i do catch it lol you can get single front end kits that raises the car, i was talking to a lad last night who has a golf with airbag suspension, he says the ride hasn't really changed from his coilovers unless he is riding it high (which looks stupid). i know a few top end cars have the ability to raise the front end a few inchs, maybe worth a look instead of changing that gorgous looking motor. Yeah i have been looking into those, they do a kit that fits over the top of your coilovers. http://www.stance-solutions.co.uk/1 Loving that dude, keep the front bumper and reinforce the bottom like a few people on here have done. P.s. What wheels are those ? seriously nice looking car though mate. Wheels are Rays volk racing, 18" lightweight ones, repainted black.

jazz1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Love the look of yours, very surprised it doesnt catch, must have better roads where you live lol I suppose it depends how fast you drive over these bumps? I also have an apr splitter on mine, that protects most my bumper damaged z:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yes to be honest, I can understand what your saying as mine would catch the kerbs aswell, being honest I think your car looks very very nice and I don't see alot of good stance do luck supra's around .

jazz1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I still think to date this is the best kit by far, thats why I put it on my supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_1987 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 looking good mate Cheers Jurgen, so glad i bought this of you, been an awesome car I still think to date this is the best kit by far, thats why I put it on my supra. I gotta agree, this is probably my favorite kit, although wish they did a proper wide body version of it. Guess i could just get it made widebody, using the same style as the kit hmmmmmm....... i like that idea lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just for your interest, if you want to see what I'd would look like with a top secret front, check my garage Think it looks great with the do luck though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay200bhp Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 just sell me the wing for £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm sure you'd get the same answer from him as you would if you asked me that. Don't think you have much hope mate I'd be tempted to let mine go for £800 but would have to find another one I like first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_1987 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Your right about that listy, not much hope at all of anyone getting that wing off me lol, took me a while to get one in the first place. although if i was to go wide, then i might have to get the apr500 wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
