Starting to make some progress on my car now,

custom made a front bumper, its almost finsihed now, needs a little more sanding down to get rid of the last few little lumps and to rub down the filler primer.

bonnets almost complete, had to do some repair on one brow, the mesh is going and being changed to something else

I used a post97 front bumper, and a Irmscher Vectra front splitter, trimmed down and bonded, grp'd and smoothed in.







Including materials the front bumper has cost me about £50 -60 to make

bumper looks interesting, not so hot on the old holes in the bonnet.

Good work either way, we love progress pics

Bumper looks excellent bit I would definately do something with those bonnet holes - maybe something like Andys -





http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=Andy%20Stocker&carid=3683

You would need it the other way around on holes that big though and not as deep, just be left with two rear-facing slits to vacuum out hot air.

Will look ace - like two small versions of this -

I would maybe have the mesh bit a bit steeper though, perhaps exactly perpendicular to the bonnet.

Thanks for that guys Not entirely sure what i doing to do with the bonnet exactly, but I was wondering more about how low its gonna be :/

Do you think that bumper is gonna scrape on the GROUND, with a 60 mm drop on 15s lol

Its at standard at the moment, waiting for a bit of free time to completely finish the bumper, got smooth doors in the garage ready to go on, and reiger Rs skirts...

Saving for new suspension + wheels

Had some time to do some work on the bumper, sanding the shite out of it and smoothing it all down, its very close to finished now, just needs abit of strengthening here and there and then a bucket of high build primer !

First pictures are latest, last pics are from yesterday work
