I was looking at this yesterday, wider front bumper is needed to. Can be made from carbon as well as PVC. I'll bet carbon is a lot of money.

Mine is losing oil, but not leaking, i've changed the oil fumes separator ( that's what we call it in bosnia ) and it lowered the oil losing, but it's still doing it. And quite a lot of smoke out of the exhaust. Mechanics say i should rebuild the engine, its a 1.6 16v so its pretty expensive. Anyone else has/had this problem? View attachment 11874

Oil fumes seperator? That the positive crank vent system??

you do lots of exterior and interior cleaning lol

Its OCD mate. I dont mind the kids eating and making a mess in the back but after at least 5 days it HAS to be cleaned before the McDonalds chips turn into mush with damp in cabin and then becomes one with the carpet lol

If you had 20 25's on front and matching rear arch extentions on rear i think it would look naughts as F##K!! Hard to tell with different colours. Ive seen a few on preludes and only like it when the hide the fixings/smooth them out. Have you seen them to buy alain? Are they fiber glass or just rolled steel? On spacer note im gunna keep 15's on front, sorry man! But will 100% send the grill n badge next week just been so busy atm with work and the kids...

yeah the supercopa one is best for sure. but yeah bumper needs adjustment. the others are a straight fit.

yeah would be best to see in unicolor. fiber glass i guess since its a fiber glass company. lol no worries, i got spacers allready. with the 8j wintertyres its fine for now

and idk i like the more roled arch from oem and supercopa fenders more i guess

Ive thought about converting all the panels to fiber glass in the future with a custom carbon fibre bonnet. One thing at a time...

What you are looking at there is the wider bumper. BUT the wider wings will fit the standard bumper but will look like shite...it says so just in the add.

This listing is for 2 front wings, they are wider than the road car items and look best when used with our wider front bumper.

i have had the same ideas. carbon fibre bonnet i could use allready. but i found here for 700 euro. a little to much for now.

Give me a few hours to finish work and get to my work shop. They are the panels I have including the front splitter
I wanna do a mock up later. Just lay all panels on my car to see what it looks like

 

[Manic172]

Most of the fibreglass panels

 

[Manic172]

Just a quick mock up with bits just dropped in position. Need to cut and shape every thing but you get the idea

If you call xsport and have a word with them. They can make all panels from fibreglass. Kevlar and carbonfibre. So in time. And no st slowing I am going to convert all min to carbonfibre but for the moment it's fibreglass lol

Scraped the windows, pumped up the tyres then went to check screen wash but the bloody catch for bonnet didn’t pop out so I can’t get bonnet up
So pushed bonnet shut, locked her and walked away................
