Title: New bumper....
Post by: probedb on July 01, 2007, 08:24:38 PM
Well I had to fit the new bumper as the old one has been sold and it needs to look like a car for the recovery place :) So here\'s some pix.....bumper is a Feed Type IIR replica by shineautoproject in the US. Lights are original Feed. I had a problem fitting at one side but discovered my car has had a shunt in the past as there\'s a metal bar that\'s not straight anymore.....anyways enough of the talk...

:) looking sweet Paul. Very nice indeed. Not OTT, just right. Out of interest does the bottom lip sit lower than the stock one?

Cheers Paul, the bumper is about as low as the stock one...I need to fit the undertray I got as well to give it some more strength.

tomotadahira, lights are Feed :) Got them through Newera.

Carl: very, very, VERY green ;)

Gurj: Yours is the same bumper as mine but seeing as yours is from Japan yours will be proper Feed....you just have standard 99-spec headlights and not the Feed ones....you know you want them!

It\'s my parents garage but yes it\'s damned tight, no chance of sitting down the side of the car :)
