Title: New front and sprayed bonnet
Post by: Laeeq on December 29, 2004, 12:32:42 PM
Hi People!

A late very merry christmas and advance happy new year to you all..

I had few days off work and been sorting out few things with the car, apart from going out every night....lol...late nights..

The body work on my car is all most complete, do need to get rid of the decals now but they are not that easy to do either.

The new front is on and looks the business and with bonnet being resprayed from carbon fibre to black in order to achieve that all black looks.

That\'s gorgeous mate. Different and very sexy! Can i ask what parts you have on there? Looks like a new-shaped front end, but without the \'99 spec driving lights/indicators? Are they a one off set or is it just the camera picking up more colour than usual?

Any pics from the back?? :p

Thanks Guys!  Im glad you like it.

Im still not sure about the decals but may just leave them on.

Riccardo: even i was confused what front it was till Edds told me that it could be TBO or TOB from japan.  I saw this around Jason (Jay dee) place as it came off a Red single turbo motor that he is preparing for a friend.  That car is gonna be mental and the compettition is on...lol..  

Thats exactly, what bumper i was looking for, a bitt different and after talking to Sunny about if we can swop with my old bumper as he liked that one, we had a deal.  The pictures are not really good.  I will be taking more and post them soon.

FDdreamer:  The side skirts and the rear spats are replica vielside and the bonnet is R-magic and the bumper is TBO i think and yes it is very different.  The oil cooler vents are in perfect place and air flow to IC is much better and the rediator gets hit with nice straight throuh air.  The 99 spec lights are not my cup of tea, whereas these indicators are standard type but aftermarkeet ones with smoked housing and they sit behind the bumper as if they are hiden but soon as the light comes on you can notice them better.

Last but not least the spoiler is from Halfords.  A corbon fiber thingy.

Now that the body work is allmost finished, next year it will be time for intterior.

I will post more pictures of the engine bay as well as the whole car again on seperate thred soon....

Cheers

To be honest Si, i have no idea or confirmation myself what exact bumper is this?  I was told it was TBO and so thought it is then.  Maybe or surely someone here can let us know for sure what make it is?  

Cheers
