i'm happy with the fitment of everything but painting was rushed a little. will need all the little runs flatted out in the laquer then polished but other than that is good. 2nd skin of kevlar needs more resin though. hopefully me and hitman are gonna get a joint cover feature in fast car. c vs b. hydro's vs air lol. cheers for the kind comments peeps. i'm sure not everyone will like it but i feel this bumper works better than the flycatcher one. plus its the same height as the rest of the kit.
the first guy in the show marched up to the car to ask about the bumper. was very foreign and showed me the proof that he created it! i gave him the website(autotintdesign) so he can go sue them now
colour is bmw phoenix yellow btw

Get the bumper meshed up etc & do some proper pics
How was the kevlar done? Easy process?

the hardest bit is gettin all the air bubbles out which i havn't managed yet
if it doesn't look great after the next few coats of resin i'll do it again. will prob have a level roof by then
but i can get the carbons/kevlars absolutley dirt cheap and the clear resin and primer for bonding to the metal, also v cheap. the fabric flows around the vent without distortion in the weave which is very encouraging. they do a distorted version though that is flexible enough to make bumpers out of doesn't look perfect but will be light

p.s. i had black mesh cut, just didn't have time to fit it. looks great in contrast. what colour wheels though, been offered full wheel sponsorship but black, silver or chrome?? whatever i want but what would be best
