wez_p Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 after my recent incident when i loaned the car to my dad, i'm considering a different bumper that may not be quite as low anyone have a pic of the Miami GT Samurai bumper on a silver supe? i'd love to see some pics of any colour really but silver would help me see it on my car better oh and does anyone have the height it sits from the ground? I'm on the yellow bilsteins & lowered springs option that some supes came with if anyone has similar thanks, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 cheers guys you have much trouble with inclines etc with this nose? do you still have to avoid car parks etc? i know i've got no chance in a multi storey & even slight dips in the road i get caught out on if going at any kind of speed so i guess it would really make things a little more practical for me appreciate the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've not had problem in multistories, but do have problem when pulling out from laybys and driveways. The problem with the do-luck is not that it is low, but that it sticks out a lot further than most other front bumpers. Any steep gradient change seems to make it catch a little. However the one from Paul E has huge runners underneath which means the front itself is not damaged. Dude always said these must be mounted with a few bolts at the side but with minimal securing at the front. That allows for up/down movement if it catches. I must have grounded mine out over 100 times this year and (touch wood) its not had a single crack, graze or chip so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerotop Dave Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 What's with the dual front number plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 What's with the dual front number plates?It's to give the filth a sporting chance isn't it CJ? You try reading a single number plate at the rate of knots the orange beast can achieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 What's with the dual front number plates? One of the local plod decided to take offence at my small singular version and had me put the larger version on. I didnt mind as the nose is coming off for the winter to be repaired and resprayed so it was no geat hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 after my recent incident when i loaned the car to my dad, i'm considering a different bumper that may not be quite as low What happened mate? Good choice in bumper. The Do-Luck or the Stillen are the 2 id get if i had better ground clearance and some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
