[Mk2] [Turbo] Front bumper and skirts fitted/sprayed pics

[alan1150]

Just finished fitting my new bumper and side skirts here are a couple of pics. I think its looking pretty good now just needs a good t-cut and polish.

very nice mate

not seen that bumper before, very nice

Its an infan8 front bumper made by a company in Coventry, don't think they are around anymore and they only made a couple.
Am well chuffed with the look of car now, just gotta be careful over the speed bumps as it sits quite low.

very nice i like that very smart and suttle

I think symmetry is very important with body kits. One of the things I dont like about my MRD kit is that the rear splitters do not retain this consistency when viewing along the side of the car. My rear splitters should really come lower down the wheel to a level matching the side skirts. Your kit looks really good but I think you have a similar problem with your nose cone looking at the images provided. Still looking very good though.

Your right there, his front bumper sits lower than his sides but the rear spats sit lower than the skirts too..... Personally i dont like the border rears, they make the rear end look heavy and never look like there sitting right.

The rear of the 2 looks much better with a lighter back end, something like toms bumper or pp spats.

I aint too fussed if the bumper is sitting lower than the skirts but do see your point. Border skirts would have probably sat around right level but don't look as nice in my opinion.
One good thing is the indent in the front bumper matches the one on the skirts, which makes it look less mix'n'match.

not feelin' the front bumper but like the rest

and no tarmac

Looking good fella

[alan1150]

ha ha skywalker,
The tarmac is still there in places but the worst of it is gone. Bloody road workers laying down fresh tarmac on the way upto skywalkers garage and on a saturday of all days.

Cool car

It's difficult to get all the kits to line up when you mix and match, but the effort is worth it.

I like the front in general, but it does look alot lower than other front bumpers on the market if the Toms are a marker and even Border skirts might struggle to line up.......and the Toms are better looking anyway. Sure infan8 did do matching skirts too.

I just wish though that people would blend in the Border rears. You see so many great cars with them just stuck on like an afterthought.

Even on this little beauty



Here's mine, gotta load of new pics to upload tonight.



Spend a few extra quid to get the rear up to the same standard as the rest.

Getting the border spats blended is one of my next jobs or if a good toms style rear bumper comes available i might go down that route instead.

[Spittinflames]

The front bumper sitting lower dosent matter, it's when the rear is to heavy it looks wrong.

Go with a toms bumper, Will look awesome then.

[C50]

hope i'm not being rude but the style doesn't really flow tbh toms skirts don't really match that bumper..

[mattymr2]

i think the rear spats really complement the front bumper's shape, but i dont think the tom's skirts suit....


perhaps some border or border/hybrid skirts would follow the cars lines better than toms?


just my opinion though, it looks good and youve done a good job m8
