opinions please, Front bumpers

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

hi all, just looking to see which most of CS would go for on my dCi. how it currently is:

[/URL][/IMG] or ( pinched from spinksy's thread ) the current style bumper which I am working on to look like that :

[/URL][/IMG] which one do I pick ? C+C welcome

 

[Joe#]

Stick to what you've got mate. If Spinksy thinks it looks good then there's no more to say

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

haha, should of added, when I swap my engine over , the bumper is coming off to gain access to other parts. only thing is, I don't know if the bumper will come back off without cracking or splitting at the tops :/

 

[MartinR]

That car in the second picture looks s**t lol. Stick with the one you have

 

[DaveDreads]

Well you know as well as I do Raz, that bumper's going to explode when you release the tension on that thing,
you also know how I feel about RS bumpers on non RS Clios. :nono:

So with that in mind i've put together a small selection of Ph2 bumpers for your consideration.

2009 Campus

2011 Campus 1.5 dCi 65

^^^ I really like that one, kind of looks like a Meg 225 front end,
you'd need the grill as well.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

hmmm, what about the ph3 bumper 'unsmoothed ' ( like nick melson's old dci 80 )

hate the normal ph2 bumper wwith that feckin bar in the middle

 

[DaveDreads]

You mean these?

 

[JoeyD]

PH3 is win.

 

[Liamm]

I want a ph3 bumper even more now, I like that red one with the rs grill in.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

yes dave ph3! like joey's

not overly keen on full smoothed, the one im toying with atm still has the middle vent bit.undwr the dimond badge and a little recess for the plate.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

wait! can i see sport wings on joeys nonsport?

 

[DaveDreads]

The only thing i'd change on that Ph3 bumper is the two vertical lines that separates the 3 bump strips,
wouldn't be too hard to smooth those two bits.

Best advice ever... Disappointed Ryan

 

[JoeyD]

Yup, they look meaty as f**k (I had 25mm spacers fitted in that picture)

Fibreglassing needed though unfortunately.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

ooowww im not getting into the whole fibre glass melark . would love to have sport wings with a normal front bumper...

might just settle for daves unique idea, off to the scrappy for more bumpers!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

sshhhuuutttt it !

 

[DaveDreads]

I also think you should ditch the 3 lower grill lines for mesh.

It's a pain. I couldn't make it work, ended up selling the car in frustration. Rage quit FTL.

 

[Spinksy]

tw@ts

the purple isn't happening...

and Raz has to admit he likes the smoothed phase 3 bumper almost as much as I do...

 

[Joe#]

Ph3 bumper, inserts color coded. Done.

will that look good tho? black mesh with a better intercooler sat behind it >

 

[DaveDreads]

Nothing wrong with your car Spinksy, especially since you ditched the green bits.

How big is the IC, will it stick out a bit?

(What engine is it again? I've forgotten)

u.n.i.q.u.e - blisimo

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

its ermmm, how do i put this... it fills my lower grill with the bumper thsts on the car now
and to remind you, a dirty 1.5 dci turbo powwwaaa

 

[DaveDreads]

If the ph3 bumper fits then mesh all the way, those 3 lines a sh*t.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

will have a play around with the bumpers. will do one with just colour coding, and one with the two lines smoothed and mesh lower grill

 

[DaveDreads]

Check out the high roller with his multiple front ends!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

mood dependant front ends ! o'll take all three to css and change them throughout the day.

ipad pissing me off!

 

[Liamm]

Paint one white and stick it on mine

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

depending on which one i dont use, you can have one painted white
will bring it to css

 

[Liamm]

If you're actually srs how much? Haha

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

its a waste of a bumper otherwise ! will drop you a pm when iv finished f**king about with the styles ! sort something out then pal

 

[GeorgeH]

I have my ph3 cc'd, not the best pics but you get the idea.
