i wish that was mine mate!! i was just showing how i couldnt decide between the front bumper on that or the c-west one

it is a lovely car though!!

Nice FD bro it makes me want mine all the more!How much did you pay for it?Nice color and Bodykit,you bought it like this right?

Cheers mate, paid around £10,000 for it on jap Import. Came fully kitted like that. Would NOT like to spend that much doing it up hehe. Good to see ya from Detroit, do like it there. My family live in Rochester (Mi) out in the sticks, bloomin lovely!

yeah that\'s the problem, I have a habit of cracking my bumper, but theres a fantastic c-west replica front end that\'s identical for $650 so that\'s pretty cheap and when I crack it I wont mind AS much

There\'s a simple solution to that. Buy the proper one and make a mould of it. That\'s all the replica ones are, plus you can make a few quid on selling it to the rest of us when we crack ours

Andy, would you be interested in a mould of the rear bumper?

Can\'t promise i\'ll ever get round to doing it it cos im not sure where/how to get it done, but if a few people want one im sure something can be arranged.
Do bumpers need repainting after a mould has been taken, or is the stuff used quite gentle on the paint?

yes they have

www.mbautosports.com

its called the "Feed Version 1 99-Spec Style Body Kit" or something like that, no idea why because its nothing like a feed bumper!

its $275 dollars but to the uk they wanted $300 dollars shipping. i suppose that reasonable, but just ironic that the shipping it more than the part :rollin

here\'s the specific link:

Think it depends on where you get it done. I\'ve just had to buy a new Cwest sideskirt in after sadly loosing one, but they are made of Fibreglass. Mine needed spraying (only a cost of 100 quid including bonding) but not knowing enough about fibre glass I couldn\'t tell ya really.

Not sure about the bumper, havn\'t seen it in the flesh yet, if you come along to Billing in a couple of weeks I wouldn\'t mind having a peak at it

Tell ya what though, i\'d get ya skirts bonded on as I think that body kit tape is CRAP and it does wear after time, if you loose one ya looking at around £620 for one or £900 for two + spraying   Cost ya about £30 to get em bonded

[ScuttleRX]

Thanks for the tip, they look pretty secure at the moment, got the screws each end, might even be bonded already, but last thing i wanna do is lose one so i think i\'ll get that checked out.

Might see about getting them blended in aswell, i like the way they look now, but think they might look a bit better if there isnt any ridge between top of the skirts and quarter panels.

Should be at Billing, will give me a chance to check out your sleek light conversion too

[Andyp]

hehe cool mate, hope to see ya there!

Mine was stuck on with the tape and bolts... then the next minute it wasn\'t hehe. It\'s best to get it checked out, trust me, it\'s DAM expensive to replace hehe

hope to see ya soon!

 Where are you currently at?Can you please translate how much that is in U.S dollars?I love it in Detroit,lots of racing action,but Im fed up with seeing so many Mustangs and Camaro SS\'s!Im getting a FD May of next year after Graduation.Can\'t wait!Good luck with your car.Later!
:cheers

Ahh i\'m in the UK now bout 45 miles north of London but i\'m wanting to go back to the USA probably next year. I know what you mean about the cars... you\'d stand out like a sore thumb with an FD, there\'s way too many Vettes, SUV\'s etc and not enough Jap cars hehe, and everything is so much cheaper out there too

Only trouble is your lacking decent corners to zoom around, so you\'ll have to bring it to the UK hehe

£10,000 = $16000
