Well it's different that's for sure.

Looking good, but where are the LED turns?
Its a whole diffrent car now ;p hehe
I couldnt use the led turns sence the frontbumper needs USA mod turnsignals. The european turnlights have more room inside : /
So I have to find another place for them and use it as something else smile.gif
I like it. I like it a lot. For a custom job, it is VERY nice.

Yeeeah ;D hehe I`ll paint them black this winter ^^
I wondered where this was going.. It didn't turn out too bad at all. That's a beautiful color.

Just curious, you didn't really post pictures of how you got from the "bearded" look to the more vented look you have now. How were you able to cut out the side vents while keeping them symmetrical?

Either way, the color is very nice and I like what you did with it. How much did it all set ya back? wink.gif
The frontbumper I have on the car now is not the bearded one I was working with before smile.gif I didnt have the time to finish it now so I bought this frontbumper. "How much did it all set ya back?" I dont know what that means laugh.gif tongue.gif

IE: How much did the kit and paint job cost you.

Btw, that makes sense now. I couldn't understand how you got from the first version to the final version. What front end did you end up buying?
Not my taste, personally, but I definitely appreciate the quality of the work, the whole thing looks top notch. Great color choice, I really love how it looks. Now it's time for clear turns on that front bumper tongue.gif

Aaah tongue.gif It cost me around 9000 dollars, the stylingkit was useless so we had many weeks of work just to get the kit to fit the car : / and the kit was very weak so we had to make it stronger aswell. The front is the one from same kit i have on the car, bought from cdw-tuning.de

heheh I understand it didn`t make sence tongue.gif I thought I had written that I bought new frontbumber somewhere in this thread ?? tongue.gif

Thanks m8! ;D
why did you decided to change the front bumper? why didnt you finished your own frown.gif, originality its better than aftermarket, btw after the foam you just shave exess, fiberglass over it and than sand and paint?

waiting for LEDs for next projectWOW recieved the LEDs, just tested a set up on a breadboard and I can barely see anything lol. I think I'm closer to being blind !!
i have the same bodykit smile.gif





How much did you lower the front? I keep hitting those damn speedbumps.

Wow this turned out very well, great job
WOW!!! outstanding job there m8!, and it goes well with that euro rear smile.gif

How long did it take you to do that bumper...did you make the rear too...
am I the only one that noticed you dont have any front turn signal housing?? you did that so that it would look clear at night? biggrin.gif

I had to buy the frontbumper cuz I didnt have time to finish the one I was building frown.gif

heheheh and the turnligts I had was europa mods so they didnt fit the frontbumper cuz its US mod. So I must buy me new turnlights and that sux, because I had bought new european turnsignals and put strobes in them x)
arghhhhh that sux man!, how about you modify the new bumper instead to fit those lights inthem? eg cut the area of the old turn signals , and the new ones too but with a smaller hole than the one you make on the old bumper that way you could sord of fix it behind, fiberglass behind, and bodyfiller on the front, re paint the bumper and you dont have to spend any money since im assuming you have those materials, that you were going to use on the bumper you were making..., did I solved your problem?now get to work and fix that before having to pay a fine for those signals lol, that way at least you finish making what you started wink.gif and let us apreciate your master piece woot.gif
