DamanC Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 After investing in a do luck replica bumper in march, i can now safely say its finally on! The first one that finally turned up didnt stand a chance at being fitted so it had to go back and this one required 20 hours worth of work to get it how it is now, perfect! Modifications included chopping about an inch out of the front (to actually make it fit!), removing that nasty hump, custom brackets to attach to the arch (hard to explain but a solid state for 2 botls to screw into, See told you!) loys of chopping, sanding and test fitting again to make it fit how I wanted. Even polished my IC pipes whilst i was at it Ater all that, the colour match was well off! So back it went! All in all i was without my car about 6 weeks but so glad to have it back now, and after not being sure about it to start with, I think it quite suits the car Anyway, "this thread is worthless without pics" so here is one. Anoyingly due to the rushed nature I managed to have it on not quire the right setting and one of the back after the new exhaust and riddence of the caravan fog light!

supra-lover Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 looks nice mate, very nice, thats the reason i won't go for an after market bumper as i couldn't take it not fitting right that would just peeee me off so much, but good work dude it looks lovely i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'm a real purist when it comes to the MkIV. For me when it comes to bodykits it has to be stock or TRD. However, I do have to say, that actually looks bloody nice. I hope close up it's as good as it looks in the pics. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'm not sure mate!! I thought your car was stunning at JAE and I wouldn't have changed it for anything! Everyone to their own mate. Whatever the small differences it is in incredible condition Damo..... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Not generally a fan of most after market fronts or rear spoilers, but if i did change from standard i would probably go the same route as you, v nice fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks for the kind comments guys I'm not sure mate!! I thought your car was stunning at JAE and I wouldn't have changed it for anything! Everyone to their own mate. Whatever the small differences it is in incredible condition Damo..... H. Cheers buddy, thats why i nearly gave up on the project so many times. I love the stock look too, and tbh, after I have smahed it up on lots of speed bumps I will probably go back to the stock front. I like the clean, well looked after look and my favourate supes in the club are the mint ones, regardless of what kit they have. I think the main reason for the change is the air flow for the fmic, had that not have been there I dont think I would have bothered. *reminisces* http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2095/img0134webgf4.jpg hmmmm sweeet supra! also what exhaust is that? looks nice Blitz - nur spec R fella. by removing the nasty bump i assume u mean the one between the lights? I have thaught about having mine removed when it goes to be repaired. Thats the one, I dont know why Do luck do that? Just doesnt look right imo, just puts an extra line on the supra profile that is out of place. If you have it done its fairly easy and painless to do so wouldnt be expensive Looks good Daman. Out of interest, what bodyshop did you use? Chuck me a PM if you want. Sharpe concepts buddy (same guy that done dibbleyuk's car), Im doing their website at the moment so no fancy blue underlined text for you to click on but if you want their number I can fire it over. Well priced too I love it Damon....although I still prefered it with the stock front tempted to revert back myself Your not helping me get over my tragic loss! Has come on a long way sice this photo (bonus points for anyone that recognises it?) http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/6238/imgp08327dw.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Great job DC. Still think the Do-Luck is one of the best looking bumpers available. I love it when you see a hint of IC pipe going to the FMIC. Thats looking sexy mate. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
