New Bumper

[scottish-sr]

Not as such, but what do you think. If I was brave enough I would take a saw to my bumpers but I would probably wreck them.

Basically its an SR or super s bumper and the number plate mount has been cut then a centre lip put in. It isnt meant to be OTT, just a subtle change to it to make it slightly different.

you can still see read your number plate lol

Only blurred out a wee bit of it, no point doing the whole thing,lol.

of course lol yep you'll be the first to know when its done

Cool, cheers. Will be good to see pics, wonder if he would maybe like making another one,lol.

think he means you can still read the plate dude.

would be different personally if i was gonna do that i'd do the grill similar with 1 bar across the middle.

haha well he's taking so long that i might go out and get a plastic welder and have a go myself

aparently a plastic welder is alot like a hot glue gun only with plastic so i don't think it will be that hard to do...

He builds race cars from scratch and hes just working on a new one and i think he'd rather work on that than my bumper... but i'm gonna see if he can get it done for the meet on the 25th...

but if i end up doing it and it's easy then i'll make a guide or you could send the bumper down my way and i'll do it for you

Cheers,lol. Got a few different ideas for altering the front bumper, might be better to do it to a normal one than an SR one though. Was thinking about just fibreglassing the bits.

give me a sec i have a pic of what happens when you do that,

basically it was all done and then I took it to the painters and they said that they couldn't paint it because id used filler and it would just crack, i was supposed to plastic weld it. The three weeks of work went down the drain so i took it out on the bumper lol, now that one is the donner bumper for the new one.


http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/Mcdiddys/ghetto.jpg here was the photoshop dream that was MENT to be a suprise lol

 

[goldstar0011]

Thats nice!

 

[scottish-sr]

Best not to fibreglass it then. I agree, that is nice aswell. That was one of my other ideas,lol, to cut out the fins aswell.

 

[NeX]

thanks, its comming up to about 4 months since i first started sketching the idea and now i'm just waiting for the front bumper to be welded and then it can all go off to the painters but you've re inspired me and i'm gonna push to get it done for the 25th

 

[scottish-sr]

Good stuff! Glad to have helped,lol. Defo post pics when its done.

 

[NeX]

will do i just hope that no one stumbles on my other secret projects muhahaha

one james knows about, and one will be unvaled at the boxhill meet... gonna be gooood lol

damn and i still have the micra trailer to sort out... so much to do!

 

[Ben]

looks good in theory but will look turd once the number plate is back on - especially if it goes to the side like the first pic

 

[scottish-sr]

Only had it there to see what it was like, similar to a Lancer. It could go in the centre or have a sticky one made up for the bonnet, rally style!

 

[benmicrasr]

Looks good m8, keep up the good work, think you mite be best to get a plastic welder yourself!Good luck with it m8
