Lot of fabrication work but should look good :)

Unfortunately it has been done before (sorry!) but I'm not aware of one in the UK.... one below looks foreign.

Yeah I know it's been done in the USA. Just not in the uk bud. I have a picture of a white classic from the US from back in 2011 before the abw arch craze that inspired me. But never had the balls to do it as a lot of people said it looks silly

Ginola 02-03-2015 07:04 PM

I like it!!, I think the one above that Steve linked is Dutch I think cant remember :oO

seventune 02-03-2015 11:02 PM

There is a blue sti6 one I've seen with blob bumper and big arches looked awesome.

seventune 02-03-2015 11:13 PM

Ha ha I Missed the link above. That was the one I ment :D

Right spent the whole day on the bumper today, Jeeze there is a lot that needs to be done.. any way here's a few pictures. It's getting here there is so much reshaping that needed to be done so heating up all parts of the bumper all along the top and sides.

Cheers bud, me too.. But at the same time I am scared :lol:


So guys I have a question, do I go for the morrettes or the crystals.. Or do I just swap and change each time I go out :)

Hongkongfooi 11-03-2015 05:18 PM

front spoiler not my cup of tea i'm afraid.:tumbleweed:

Tyler 11-03-2015 05:26 PM

Yeah pretty much everyone hates this mod... I get a lot of criticism for it and knew I would.. I like challenges and the only thing I have not dabbled in is body work so thought I would give it a go. I still have orginal pre face lift bumper and facelift front bumper with P1 splitter. (Which I should not have on as it's not a P1 I know :lol:) in the loft that I can change about any time I wish..

C. J. 11-03-2015 05:35 PM

Think Tim wants it for his p1 really :lol:

Tyler 11-03-2015 05:37 PM

Funny thing is I have 2 P1 splitters. 1 is orginal and 1 is fake :)

http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...psm8yrzdai.jpg have had to remove my long studs to fit shorter studs as don't need wheel spacer any more at the front.
Have also ordered a compression tester so I can do a health check.
