RX4 BridgePort Turbo

That picture is good but I really need a close up of the headlights, more specifically how the lamp seat fixes and everything. Behind the headlight lamps.

Those brackets are inside the car in a box, I shall get them out to have a trial bumper fix.

I am going to have to get the bumper rechromed which isn\'t going to be cheap!

note one of the attach points is a spring

let us know how you get on with finding someone to rechrome the bumpers etc as all the chrome parts on mine will need redoing, may even be able to get a little discount for two lots, i\'ve just been quoted quite a lot to have them stripped re-cromed and polished!

Well my dad reckons £250 just for the front bumper! As he had his mustang bits rechrOmed and they did him over on the price. I think I will strip and polish them myself and get the charmers to finish the last bits off and chrome them.

I did take a corner from the rear bumper to be chrome and they weren\'t too happy with how thin the metal is on the bumpers to get a good polish on it.

If worse comes to worse I could just paint them?!!!

^^ that was not a bad price from what i\'ve had!

can they be still bought new?

rx4 bumpers new??? im sure if you went into mazda and asked them they couldnt even find an rx4 on the system!!:rollin:rollin
 
how much did they quote you on a single bumper?

[RobMatthews]

as a rough guide between £250 and £350 depending on the size!

made up some small brackets today so i could hang the intercooler in the position that i want the intercooler to sit and make up the final brackets which will be from underneath the intercooler hidden.

with intercooler in that position, it has left me with a very good space underneath which will be where the oil cooller will be going.
 
i know the engine isnt in there yet but i am doing these things in prearation for the engine, everything should squeeze in there just nice, radiator and fans without touching anything on the front of the engine.
 
need to get and ali rad but one that is the standard thickness as the ebay ones will be too thick.

i have been in touch with a chroming company and they have given me a rough price of £150 + vat per bumper which sounds like a good price to me,
 
 i have sent them pictures and measurements of the front bumper and will hopefully hear from them next week on exact price for stripping, pollishing and rechroming

Today i decided to put together a bunch of parts i have lying around so i can check fitment of the engine in the bay and for if im going to require to fab any brackets too.
 
also if the turbo doesnt contact the engine bay walls, but i doubt it as the rx4 bay is prety big

[Grant Monkhouse]

this came today too
