Welcome buddy,

Sweet car you got there, love the front bumper

[geocool69]

welcome mate hope you stick around...

what lip have you grafted onto the bottom of your bumper.

[Whitestar]

I made it by myself.With urethane-foam and glassfibre...i also made the bumper about 5cm lover by cutting it half and again adding fibre.The big airintake is made a bit deeper too (again fibre...).I have some project pics if you want?

[geocool69]

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/01.JPG´

And the first step of making her new facelift...all the spars cut off.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/02.JPG

some cardboard and tape to fix the damage.. ;)

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/03.JPG

time for fitting.first fibres added and more "starkki"-tape.

Notise it´s still winter and so damn cold.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/04.JPG

the first set of urethane and a bit of shaping..

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/05.JPG

a closer look at the first shapes and more fibre found under the tape...

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/06.JPG

the shaping of urethane quite done.the big airintake is about to get deeper with the help of cardboard and tape.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/07.JPG

a bit closer look..

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/08.JPG

all the fibres added and alot of sanding done and still even more to be done.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/09.JPG

the first time i tried it on.again the old rims.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/10.JPG

fits quite well.though the fitting is quite tight in some spots. ;)

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/11.JPG

primer added and trying the mesh on.the mesh is later to be painted black.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/12.JPG

trying the bumper on with neons.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/13.JPG

same thing as above but no neons..

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/14.JPG

the fresh paint....

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/15.JPG

...is quite shiny. The little one is drooling at the back.

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/17.JPG

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/18.JPG

before--->after (hmm...something has changed, hasnt it?)

http://users.evtek.fi/~olliah/OlliA/19.JPG

just going to wash her, the new rims just bolted on.The repeaters are still amber but not anymore..

Satisfied now? ;) Too bad i don´t have any recent photos but maybe someday.

[Firthy]

Whow alot of work there, definately worth it though, and you know your not going to see another bumper the same

[Humayun]

Welcome to the club mate!! Jus wanna say the=at ur bumper is SWEEEEET!! Definately worth the hassle and its the definition of custom modification.

Nice one mate.

[starletsr]

wow, must of taken u ages.... so u looking to do the whole kit? :P

[Whitestar]

Thanks, it´s always nice to have positive comments of what you´ve done.

Actually yes i´m going to do the whole kit, the sideskirts are already done with fibraglass, but i have still so much sanding etc. to do.Trying to finish them during the winter.

With the backbumper i thought that i would take a pug 206 backbumper and combine the genuine starlet one with it and mod it a bit more for twin exhaust. But i think i´m going to leave the backbumper alone for a while till i get the exhaust... For the exhaust i´ve planned to fit two stainless steel back boxes to both sides of the sparetire..
