Paul Laing Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 When i go FMIC in the summer, which front bumper should i go for? I don't want a mega expensive one like 800 quid, but just a nice one like Bomex etc. Iv'e attached a pic of my car, which one would suit the car best and which would show off the Intercooler best? Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Not the Bomex! For gawds sake it's the new Veilside, every bugger has got one. I'm seriously considering ditching my 6 month old Veilsnide bumper and getting a Whifbitz or Do-Luck (same as Ashley Willis used to have before he went to a Bomex *yawn*) All the above IMHO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Originally posted by BigMoistyturbo I'll have your vielsnide if you decide to change...pm me! eh? According to the web page in your sig you want a . . . . *gasp* BOMEX bumper. Seriously though Rob, I'll let you have first refusal when I get my FMIC cos I'll probably change the bumper at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I think the Do-Luck one would show it off best.. or maybe the Whifbitz, but the stock look also will make it look cool... maybe try keeping it a sleeper (is that even possible with a Supra ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoistyturbo Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 lol I don't know what I want! But I'll take anything for now just to change my front end. When I'm richer I'll be fussier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Doluck or Whifbitz the Bomex one is nice but only with the little lights ala dude's car. Think the Doluck or Whifbitz will suit your cars colour more what's the FMIC doing to your insurance...or is it one of those "i haven't fitted a FMIC" jobby?

Syed Shah Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Stock But if you must, I'll admit to really liking the Do-Luck, looks nice and apparently performs well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 How much are these ones? Stillen Ridox Do-Luck I know Whifbitz do a copy which is reasonably priced, the Ridox is the nicest though, how much Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously considering ditching my 6 month old Veilsnide bumper and getting a Whifbitz or Do-Luck (same as Ashley Willis used to have before he went to a Bomex *yawn*) All the above IMHO of course I actually take offence to that remark, firstly as I was one of the first on this BBS to want a Bomex, it just took over a year to get it done, and as I have said it over and over again, the day that I turn up at a meet and see a handfull of other Supes all running the Bomex front then I'll change, because what everyone should remember is that, maybe from a BBS's point of view where we may have most enthusiasts from around the UK, there might appear to be a lot of Bomex's, Paul E has even spoke with me at lenghts on how many Bomex's he's selling, yet I still see no one else with one that turns up to any meets, yet 75% of all Supes are still running the stock front. But hey I dont even know why Im standing up for them, as I said before the Bomex is a shat bumper, everyone go buy a different bumper. Agreed next time I would probably go for something else..... EDITED: To say my car looks twice better than it ever did, why, becuase I chose it, unlike the whiftbitz copy I got on teh car when I bought it.......

Dragonball Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 For Gods sake - haven't we done this 'Which bumper' thread to death - there is about 10 of them? Then it always gets on to Bomex and...and... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON! There you go...now see what you have done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 We might have done this before but can't i put up a picture of "my" car and ask peoples opinions on which bumper would suit it? Isn't that what the BBS is for? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul its exactly what the BBS is for paul. to be honest though i wouldnt bother with other opinions its what you like that counts. i bought the common veilside and it doesnt worry me its been done to death as i know it looks good and turns heads where ever i go. i proably will have a good look at other supes at billing and if theres another bumper that really catches my eye i may well change it.

Paul Laing Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Your exactly right Lee, and some people say the Bomex and Veilside are common but at the end of the day it's not a Saxo or Corsa, theres not that many Supras so how people can say certain ones are common amazes me when most Supras have the stock front. The Veilside is popular because it's nice, as is the Bomex. Keep the Veilside one, looks great on your car, especially with a FMIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 I just don't want to buy a bumper which doesn't suit the car thats all, christ the bbs will be very boring if we just used the search button and didn't make anymore threads because just about every topic has been covered.

Paul Laing Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hopefully, there will be loads there yeah but not all with the same wheels and kit as me thats the reason i posted the pic so people could give me an opinion on what they think would suit my car, although it will be nice to see different bumpers Paul - Your sig is way too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Paul, Im not bothered about the thread mate, start another in 2 days time, it was just Jakes, *yawn* remark at me which I didnt appreciate........but I have had a nice little sleep since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 there are very few after market front ends I would put on my car. Now I am not saying I love the stock front end to bits but I just don't think that a lot of the aftermarket affairs would look good on mine. Colour, ride height, and alloys make a huge difference to the looks of any body styling addition. The addition of a mettalic or flip element to a colour is enough to alter a body styling items looks for instance. I liked the look of the ferrari take off front end but then saw it on a car that wasn't as low but in the same colour and thought it looked cack. Also I will say that pictures aren't an accurate method of selecting a body styling product. Get yourself to a big meet that has a good selection of cars going and see what you like the look of. Try not to get bogged down in the exclusivity snobby opinion wars that seem to go on lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Ashley, was i having a go at you or are you talking about a different Paul? I don't think i mentioned you once..... Dangerous Brain lol - I know what you mean about a meetup, seeing nice bumpers and choosing one, but it might suit the car it's on and you might love it, but once on your own with say different styling it might look crap! That was the reason i put a pic of my car on here so people could give their opinion on which would suit "my" car, which people have done. Cheers to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Originally posted by Ashley Willis it was just Jakes, *yawn* remark at me which I didnt appreciate Huh? You're too touchy mate. Just seems strange to me that everyone who is changing their bumper at the moment goes for the Bomex F&F style one. I mean, how come those are suddenly the one to have? They've been out for several years haven't they? (The TFATF movie must have been what, 3 years ago?) So why are they suddenly popular now? Don't get me wrong, it's an OK looking bumper if you like that sort of thing, loads of holes/vents etc, I just liked your old one much better (apart from the duct tape ) Besides, you shouldn't take any notice of what bumper I think does or doesn't look good, it's your car after all. That's why I added the "IMHO" at the end of what I said yesterday Anyway, what's happening with your car now Ash? Is it back on the road now after your turbo nightmares?
