R3DG3CKO ROB Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Has anyone managed to fit the stock arch linings to the Bomex front? Mine hasn't got them attached at the moment and makes the front look rather flimsy IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Wanted to ask the same question mate, when I got mine fitted three months ago. It just makes it look tacky when you see right through the bumper from side angles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Exactly my problem... it makes the front look really flimsy and cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Exactly my problem... it makes the front look really flimsy and cheap... Hi Rob I'm looking to get the Bomex myself, the UAD 148. I take it the standard OEM bumper brackets/bolt holes are not compatable? I have a veilside front which needs taking off (has seen better days previous to my ownership ) One other thing, can I ask who supplied your bomex bumper? Was originally gonna go for the top secret from Knight Racer, they dont do the bomex, neither to Miami GT. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Not sure if the standard arches are compatible with the bomex, it's got bolt holes etc. So I'm hoping someone has managed to make them fit... I got my Bomex front from Knight Racer, supplied, fitted and painted. Very happy with the work so far. The car is with them at the moment having more bodywork done... I seem to remember that Lui had arch linings so hopefully he'll be able to tell us if his were stock or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobAce Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 i got a bomex on mine but i did have to moddify inner arches, not to much hassel just a hacksaw blade to cut off the bits in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I have a bomex front on mine, the inner arches seem to work well with it. You only have to trim a little bit. I would imagine most aftermarket bumpers require a little fiddling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 the front arch liners went in fine on mine they just go behind the lip of the bumper you do need to bend them a bit though, i took quite a few pics of the front bumper when i was fitting it, if you guys are interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight-racer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ah yes, we do have Bomex front bumpers in stock, also Top Secret, C-West, Blitz, Veilside, and both Do-Luck style fronts readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for taking advantage of an advertising oportunity. A comment on the inner arch fitting would have been more useful though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight-racer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 These standard inner arch linings dont tend to fit once aftermarket bumpers are fitted. However, you can sometimes get away with a bit of cutting and trimming or even cable ties. The trickier ones are the wide arch conversions like the TRD front ends (which we also have in stock ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 a word of caution here fellas you WILL need to do some work to make the bumpers fit properly, i would say most are now copys of copys so all the flaws are magnified if a trader tells you "his" bumper will fit like a dream......................
