My new front bumper, what do ya all tink?

**Johnny A** · 03-06-2002 22:00

Front bumper is finished. As seen at the Cental MIG meet and Bournmouth cruise yesterday.

What do you think of my latest creation?

**Louise** · 03-06-2002 23:36

looks very nice

i like that car alot

**TINTIN** · 03-06-2002 23:42

Is the bonnet supposed to be red or is it just waiting for a coat of the white stuff

Looks good though other than that. Big smile stylee

**DaveB** · 04-06-2002 00:23

I dont like it, it looks like a work in progress.

Sorry

**SimonT** · 04-06-2002 00:56

Same here. It does just look like someones cut a lump out and left it at that. Maybe some mesh will make it look better?

**PhilM** · 04-06-2002 01:17

ewwww

**Strick** · 04-06-2002 08:21

Just a personal thought, so no need for anyone to get all defensive. (after all, you did ask)
I agree in the thinking that it look like work in progress, needs something more to finish it, maybe mesh will help.
Also, number plate! looks very out of place, i think you need a smaller one to the side, either square or oblong.

**nickyboy** · 04-06-2002 08:34

You could swallow a dear with that. You got Daves wheels on there now?

**Dave Dempsey** · 04-06-2002 09:26

I can see the idea and the ideas good but I think if it was meshed it would make a big differance, and as has been said the number plate requires something doing with it (perhaps use small motorbike plate style letters and cut the plate right down.

**Cris Rose** · 04-06-2002 10:09

would look a lot better if you moulded a proper intake to the rad, a bit of fibreglass would do it - perhaps spray the rad silver or buy a brand new one.

btw, i have some of the paint from my Nova spare, if you want your bonnet spraying up, bring it down to me and i'll do it for £35

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 10:37

I thought you guys would have gathered that the car is 'work on progress' from the red bonnet!

I had only finished installing the bumper a few hours before!!

Mesh is going on soon, also the number plate was a quick fix.

It will be ready for billing I PROMISE!!!

**SimonT** · 04-06-2002 10:45

Ok, we'll let you off, just this once though

I think this is why we thought the bumper was finished

**Freak** · 04-06-2002 11:27

Is that the bumper you bought from me?

Fixed up nicely that has

lee may · 04-06-2002 11:50

Whats going on with the rad?
Is there an extra one in there or have you moved one forward?

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 12:31

The bumper itself is finished (i.e its been shaped, smoothed and painted). The mesh isn't gunna sit on the bumper, its gunna be attached to the vallace just because of the way the bumper is shaped and the angle of the radiator.

Freak >> Yes m8, this is that GSi bumper I purchased off you for not a lot of cash. Was an easy repair.

Lee >> Its a second radiator that has been plumbed in series with the first.

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 12:40

I did a little messing around on PSP7, here is what it should look like at billing.

Apart from I will have done another number plate and there will be some louvres in the bonnet.

**Freak** · 04-06-2002 12:55

Hmmm
I seem to recall a conversation on my driveway about putting the Rad there....

U beat me to it.... lmao

lee may · 04-06-2002 13:49

Has it made any difference haveing 2 rads?

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 22:19

It has made loads of difference, the car feels like its got more power.

Two other passengers have said it feels more powerful.

lee may · 04-06-2002 22:41

Is that because its running cooler or is it the same temp?

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 22:42

Yep, cooler running engine.

lee may · 04-06-2002 22:50

I am going to be wraping my exhaust before it goes on. Hopfully this will help keep it cooler.
How do you fancy going out on the track at the same time as me to see how they compare

**Johnny A** · 04-06-2002 23:06

I haven't got any plans for Castle, I have no cash and an empty tank.

**Tim_P** · 05-06-2002 09:23

Looks very cool mate
