Styling mods

jimvrs · 20-11-2004, 10:36

Hi all,
Been replying to posts in threads for a while but only just figured out how to start my own thread

(how thick am I,and now hoping it's in the right forum)
Anyway, all I wanted was to get some feedback and opinions on my latest bit of tinkering. As work was slow this week I decided to modify my front bumper by moulding in some mitsubishi Evo7 bumper vents (just because I can, and I had them lying around)
After 3 or 4 worked dinner breaks this is my result

I really like them but await your comments and views

**JaneC** · 20-11-2004, 10:50

Oooh, I like those

Skodacious · 20-11-2004, 10:58

Looks great - modifying plastic bits (ie: bumpers) has always been a mystery to me!!! How do you do it?!!! I can't even see the joins!!!

jimvrs · 20-11-2004, 11:03

A little bit of cutting, plastic welding, bonder,filler,primer,colour,laquer,witch craft,black magic,voodoo,sheer luck and a little bit of skill

Gr8 mod.

How much for the vents? Wonder how much a bodyshop will charge to fit/paint em?

faboka vrs · 22-11-2004, 11:41

Very nice

***ncarring*** · 22-11-2004, 11:45

Where are they in relation to the intercooler? Will they actually draw air through it, or divert the flow across the front of it? If the former, could be a good mod from a performance pov too.

EddyH · 22-11-2004, 11:45

Looks good.

***DGW*** · 22-11-2004, 12:20

They look like they have always been fitted. Very nice indeed - and just the thing to grace my Styling.
