drift_bear Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I've managed to get hold of a uk spec bonnet and will be getting it sprayed and fitted ASAP. The question is, do I keep my top secret front bumper on OR change it to my stock front with lip? And if I change it, will it go with the rest of my kit? This is how it looks with just the UK bonnet fitted Edited May 18, 2014 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 stock with lip I might need to ask a photoshop guru to try a mock up Keep it and sell me the lip if it is RMM . Just buy a new one, not that expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Keep it as it is, I always think the lips look too 'stuck on' as the colour never looks like it matches well enough IMO. Why did you get another bonnet anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I say keep both spray both bumpers, that way you can have 2 of both worlds to switch between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossco Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I agree. Put a stock front on it and sell the TS front to Robby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a stock front on it and sell the TS front to Robby. Im not sure if a stock front will go well with the rest of the kit though bossco. Wonder if any of the photoshop guru's want a shot of trying it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Like your car as it is Alex but if it annoying you then a change is good. You know I always go stock front and active lip. I don't think it will go with your skirts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have to admit I am a massive stock fan after going through my kit 'phase'. But I personally would keep the TS bumper, there are not many front ends I can say I like but TS is one of them. Also I think those lips are hideous bulky looking things that stick out worse than Benjamin Buford Blue's lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Stock front and lip would look great with your bomex skirts in my opinion. Plus like you said it would make going over speed bumps a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 John's is fine over speed bumps mate to my knowledge, just don't slam the thing like bushy i dont have problems as it is just now with speed bumps.. Cheers bud. Just let me know when u decide Like your car as it is Alex but if it annoying you then a change is good. You know I always go stock front and active lip. I don't think it will go with your skirts though. Don't get me wrong H, i do love the look of my car. But always wondered what it would look like really, main thing to me is get the uk spec bonnet back on tbh I have to admit I am a massive stock fan after going through my kit 'phase'. But I personally would keep the TS bumper, there are not many front ends I can say I like but TS is one of them. Also I think those lips are hideous bulky looking things that stick out worse than Benjamin Buford Blue's lip. The TS front is a nice bumper and looks like an aggressive OEM front (at certain angles), I think im just coming to the end of my body kit "phase" aswell tbh Stock front and lip would look great with your bomex skirts in my opinion. Plus like you said it would make going over speed bumps a lot easier. I just need to see how it looks via photoshop first i think. No point in spending money getting it all done and then realizing it doesn't work.. You should let me have your front bumper methinks!! Thought you loved the stock look to much Ellis?
