Front bumber!

[STU666V]

I was thinking in changing my front bumber a bit! This is what it looked like-

And this is what it looks like now.

And this is how i did it!
I bought a new broken scooby front lip (splitter) and cut the ends off as it was to long.

Started to cut and file as the bends were wrong and also the curves did not match, After i got the middle almost fitting i got the place where the ends had to meet.
Fixed one of the ends on,

Started to fix the middle on,

Quick look too see how it looks!

Got the other end fixed on,

Caped off the ends,

A few coats of primer,

Justed sprayed it with matt black as i cant get a blue to match and i think it looks sh!te when colours dont match,

Had to change the tow hook to an omp one, welded on a new bracket,

Then bolt it back on!

What do you think?
Better or shite? :lol:
Think it will be better when it gets painted blue!

will definatly look better colour coded as it still looks like the original laguna one , also how come you dont have the vents on the lid wont that have worse effects on the engine temp ,

Its a GF bonnet and its been fine for the last year and a bit! No problems at all ;-)

 

[Godzilla]

oh right cool suppose its alot lighter then,looks well dont see many without vents,abit like an almera gti

 

[Major_Sarcasm]

Not so keen on the look (sorry). It'll look 100% better blue.

 

[STU666V]

Well i removed the bumper again! Looked out the old spray gun again and gave it a couple coats of primer & blue and then some clear ;-) Was not keen on the matt black!
Heres some photos,

I think it looks better than the matt black did?

[Gav_Kara]

[Garef]

Looks better now thats it's painted. I'd like to see it though, without the small cuts just where the two vents are at either side of the bumper, and I'd also like to see it on a bumper which hasn't been cut up for the fmic.
