Rear Bumper Modification

[Nick172Cup]

Had a play with a spare bumper I had sitting around, so thought instead of cutting a boring oval for the exhaust to sit in i'd try something else... Doesn't look too bad I thought and some of the local CSer's seemed to like it also!

Comments and criticism welcome.

Damn f0xy beat me to it, was about to post that video!

Would look better cut wider.

 

[nathanH]

Rounded adges and that would look a lot more oem tbh.

 

[Saner]

^ Disagree (which duck) , Nicks follows on from the lines of the black strip, which I think looks better!

 

[chriscummins7]

dont like that

ruined the bumper in my opinion

 

[Budgie]

Looks better in the plastic, but awesome work Nick's brother.

A pic from eye level will look better!

 

[Harpham]

Should round off the edges IMO to kinda match with the rest of the bumper!

Looks alright otherwise!

 

[JCC]

That looks pretty good, would be cool if you could have some sort of shiny lower braces on show like all the Honda owners seem to do.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Not a fan of that at all. Looks like an undertray or something similar is missing.

I cant belive i just watched the whole of that video. I was expecting some epic fail such as not being a straight line or cutting through something

 

[Gally]

You cut up a £140 bumper?

 

[Rob]

Looks quite good nick, but you need to round the corners, both the internal and external ones if you get me, then it'd really go well.

 

[.GAZ.]

No thanks!

 

[Addz]

not a fan, makes the car look like its on stilts

 

[Nick172Cup]

Seems to be some extreme views! Didn't realise someone else had done it before though, so much for being individual.

Well it only cost £100, not exactly the end of the world...

Thats probably the height I took the picture, the back does need lowering a bit also so would look better once i've done that.

 

[Hazza]

Looks like the rear of a Ek9 or even my Ignis

I like it!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Cheers!

 

[Englebert]

Looks homebrew! Cup badge on the boot is a bit ASW too...

Why does it have a Renault badge, they weren't on PH2s?

Yeah they didd... lol

Along with the Sport badge beneath it

 

[kevin.s]

im not sure about it. i like the idea but, i think the backs on these look too high to start with so not sure if this would egsagerate it.

 

[Englebert]

My bad... it's the Non Sports which don't have it! Still, i'd take it off, looks old.

 

[maynard]

don't look to bad at all actually.

 

[k-tec172]

non . . . . . imo

 

[Ash87]

looks pants imo

 

[billybigspud]

think the 172 backend looks shite to start with compared to the 182

:clown:

 

[Christopher.]

likes it

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Good work!! possibly would have started by cutting round edges then squaring off if didnt look right but i like this either way

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Could look good but it looks like you have chopped it out. if you round the edges look loads better. Still a pointless mod imo good work for being different though!!

 

[Tigger]

Doesn't cut it for me I'm afraid - sorry

 

[matt|H]

Not bad nick! I'd keep it and ignore the haters

 

[jenic]

I'm not sure on that, maybe put a small piece of black trim around the edge to finish it off?

 

[Sir_Dave]

I like it :star:

But i'm the type of person who modifies a Trophy.

Hang him!

When are you dumping the Sachs for some GAZ coilovers?

 

[Ollie82.]

Keep it Nick. Anything that gets most people disliking it is different.....i.e good.

Then again, you've never been a CS sheep anyway....hehe.

 

[Jamie]

Looks total tosh.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Looks total tosh.

Why thank you.

 

[brisa4984]

if you like it and all...

persionally id go for simple recessed.

 

[Reyes]

Looks good. I personally would have a custom jobby. Have a plastic surround or rear diffuser on that s**t.
