Mazda \'99 spec OEM style bumper without the plate bit

[VishalStar]

Hi guys,
 
Anyone have any ideas on where to source a replica of the FD3S \'99 spec front bumper but without the rubbish looking number plate bit at the front? Im sure someone out there must manufacture them.
 
Im sure I remember reading about this somewhere on here but couldnt find anything through the search.
 
Cheers

PM Clive maybe ? He had one on his FD (albeit about 10 years ago) think his was custom made but I guess he could point you in the right direction.

Im pretty sure Clives was a original which was modified and flushed.
 
I have a plateless 99 Spec which im going to use to have moulded and replicated in a flexi frp.  Im just in the process or sourcing a nice front splitter that will be able to go with it for a full front conversion.  Hope to have something available later in the year if there is enough interest.

Thanks for the replies guys.
 
Martin, let me know how you get on with the moulding/replicas as this could be very interesting. Especially if the flexi frp fits well. Ive seen some of the shine auto stuff and it is very good material.

There\'s a company on RX7Club.com who do them, but if Martin starts them it\'d take a whole lot of hassle out of it.

i have a 99 splitter if you wanna borrow it?

Thanks Rob, I have a spare in stock at the moment, but I was looking at getting hold of one of these from Japan.
 
Gives the front a little more aggression without being too ott.
 
Opinions welcome

That look really nice its just a shame about the number plate mount. Martin can\'t remember but did you have a thread running looking for interest in a 99 spec without the number plate? can\'t find it any more.

Is that the AutoExe Martin if so, love that lip :cool:

I\'d love to go plateless with my 99 spec, but I stupidly didn\'t thinka bout it when I was having it resprayed :o
I guess you need a good bodywork person to make a decent job of it too.

[marcusd666]

Hope you don\'t mind Martin just done a quick photoshop mod just for an idea how it would look with the number plate mount.

That\'s so R3 SE3P it\'s uncanny!

That picture was just to show the splitter, the bumper I have is a plateless frp which I will get copied.  I have a pic of it somewhere...
 
The splitter is the Uras GT, very similar to the Autoexe.  
 
The plan is to have a frp and carbon option available of the splitter
