New fr bumpers

[Ad Lav]

I've just bought a new fr rear bumper and am planning to but the front soon, before I do would anybody be interested in buying the rear/front bumpers if I smoothed out the mouldings??

I have a mate who's a sprayer so he can spray it for you in your colour (unless your car is in emocion red already)

Will post pics as and when its done, timing it so smooth boot/bumper can be done at the same time!

pm me if you are interested and will see what we can do price wise.

You mean buying your old bumpers that you'd get smoothed? I'd consider it but I'm selling up soon!

Smoothed front

Exactly!

I thought about smoothing them but came across very cheap facelifted fr bumpers, it had to be done!

Still, might be nice to see what they look like!

The mouldings too! Go all the way, looks pukka with no. plate on grills, needs small plate though. Mine may be like this but on new style bumper of course!

Nice cars on cleaned.be, very different!

Once you start erasing the moulding you need to do it all the way round though! Weld up all the holes on the side, ching ching ching!

Send a PM to T.spark, his car his red and he was talking about smoothing his bumpers at some point (pre-face lift FR)

Cheers! Have just done it mate!

Indeed, im interested.. depending as I really would want the side mouldings done to.....

 

[tommmineh]

IMO it looks good enough without the moulding done, just the plate recess.

It does ya, but think smoothing the bumpers 2 would rock, problem would then be mounting off the number plate..

Couldnt have it there as FMIC, so would need to be on the side like a Alfa or something?

Any ideas?

I think then though you'd have to smooth the door strips out as they'd look odd without the matching bits on the bumper. Ya then on a slippery slope to respraying nearly all of the car... might as well get the side reps done

 

[T. Spark]

Yes, basically....

Its going to be fun

Was planning on a smoothing session this year but didnt think id have the cash... oh well, always another credit card
