Lee_e Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Im loving the stock front with a lip/spolier at the moment but im debating whether it would suit my car. I need to get my do-luck front touched up and resprayed so will cost around £300 to do all the work. so ideally I want to either repair my front or swap for a new look. Pic of my sup is attached ( has my old bonnet on, so ignore that part ) , If you cant be bothered to click on the picture then i will tell you what i have Colour - white Do luck front Blitz side skirts Trial rear Jade R 19" wheels TRD rear wing ( carbon blade) stock bonnet Could anybody put up a picture of a stock white front with a lip please would help alot. thanks boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Nah! Keep the du-luck mate! It really suits the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 cheers boys.. The only thing thats stopping me from keeping it and getting it repaired at the moment is how easy it is to crack at the bottom, If I so much as look at a kerb or sloped entrance/exit it cracks I would even consider ideas of how to reinforce the bottom so it has a bit more resistance.

FOSTA Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 What I done was : the bottom where your undertray is attached, I got a big tin of chopped strand ( pre mixed fibre glass) and basicly slapped loads on in that join from the rear! I knew it was going to be a weak point so I knew I needed to reinforce it. I also added a few screws from the bottom of the tray up into the plastic arches where the old plastic undertray used to be bolted to. Touch wood but nearly 3 years and I'm crack free!

jazz1 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think a stock bonnet would look better first . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 I already have a stock bonnet fitted as I really wasnt feeling the JUN bonnet. Looks alot better with stock bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I would even consider ideas of how to reinforce the bottom so it has a bit more resistance. My TS front has steel plates riveted on the bottom right at the front. Any speed bumps that scrape etc the force is taken by the plates, and not the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broomie Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) i prefer the stock facelift Edited December 9, 2012 by broomie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Stock facelift ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 So lets say I can get hold of a stock front and its the pre facelift version .. Whats the differences in pre facelift vs facelift apart from the side and front indicators .. which I already own and have wired up etc so wouldnt need to worry about those bits.

Lee_e Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 u wanna be carefull saying things like that on here! HAHA completely missed that. Didnt think that the stock active spolier came down that much but then Ive never really had a look at one to be honest. I havent the foggiest about what lip I want but I do like the RMM Polyurethane one steve has on his .. sorry steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
