........ I am, for once, happy with the look of the front. Although you really have to see the whole car to see how it all comes together.
The rest of my car is smooth and I didnt think the R&A bumper complemented the car.
This bumper, however, does. Its a simple design with nice smooth curves, just like the rest of me car.
Its a Carzone front, but, as usuall, I've changed a few bits to make it different and unique.
Top bit nearest the bonnet was filled wth mesh, now its just filled.
The corner splitters have been smoothed in too and the sides near the arch have been filled out to follow the smoothed in arches.
The mesh has been colour coded so it doesnt stand out.

Yeah, I get what you mean Matt, It looks like mesh in the flesh, but because its a fine mesh, in the pics it looks like a full piece. Like I said, it needs to be seen to be appreciated
I'm not a lover of having mesh silver, but thats just me. I'm trying to tone it down a bit if that makes sense when i comes to modifying

This is what it looks like standard




I was deciding between red or black as it happens, but went with the red cause black would stand out like silver would. Maybe somebody could photoshop black mesh in to see how it would look.
I think when the reg plate goes on it will split it up a bit.

I had a deep discussion witht the engine cooling bit with the bodyshop.
Thats why there's a bit of a gap between the bonnet and the bumper, and theres plenty of air gets in at the bottom. Also discussed having a coiple of cold air feed pipes running from the bottom of the bumper blowing onto the radiator.
Was that the Bob Torque filmed at Well Lane??
My first staring roll not seen that for ages
They did offer me a full time job as a presenter after that cause they were so impressed with me.
I had to turn them down tho cause it clashed with my cross stiching classes
