SupraJames Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well all in all, think it cost around the £300 mark painted, and being based on a stock bumper the fit is perfect to..! Cheers for the comment Andy. I just wanted something different, I had a Do-Luck (late) front end but they are getting too common now. Dont get me wrong they look awesome but in the end I sold it. Might be a bit wide mouth for some, but im happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connor66 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice one. It's good to see hard graft rewarded with results like that...looks great Regards Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Looks good. But you need a bigger intercooler now! Gaz. That does look really good James Gaz's comment was my first thought though, are you able to lower the FMIC at all and perhaps duct the rear of the bumper so it channels the air through the IC? It would make a big difference to the cooling if the air was forced to go through the IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Looks great....fresh, unique and all your own work. I've got a donated stock front that I'm going to do something similar to, so its good to see one thats had the treatment actually on a car. I'm thinking of splitting it all the way round about half way up then making good the gap...your idea looks far better:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well done! I personally think that looks great. Full credit to you on doing i yourself, wish I was as talented (or had the balls) to do that. Good work. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Good stuff J, I've been pining for a bumper that's as close to the stock look as possible, so far there's only one that meets my criteria - Whifbitz or yours! Stillen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Looks very nice, not a big fan of the grill.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I think it looks pretty good, would like to see it in person. Coming to Santa Pod / JAE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Looks wkd mate, dont like the grill, take the grill away and its a 10:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Non at the Japshow this weekend, will try and make a few more meet though..! Nic, not sure if I can lower the FMIC would need much longer top bolts, and mod the lower mounting, something to look into i guess..! As for the mesh/grill, well i dont really want any stones hitting my FMIC, and plus with the gap at the bottom cause the FMIC sits high I thought I tight mesh might hide it a bit.

MrAngry Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Cheers Steve, must catch up with you soon..! Indeed we must catch up soon. I am only in Biggin while I am at work now. I spend the rest of the time in Richmond at Deb's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Dupra Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Good work, looks the part, now just lose the veilside spoiler and ull be in business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Not sure if I like that or not, its probably one of those you have to see in the flesh to get a real impression - Fair play for trying something different! Perhaps if the mesh was sprayed a dark grey colour the 'mouth' would appear a little less dominating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi James, strange that you have done that as i was thinking of a similar thing. By adding that lip and then taking the bottom of where the mouth in the bumper normally is and extending it down a bit. Hmmm, gona have to get my thinking cap back on now! Looks good though mate, would be good to see it in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
