Can you make some without the turn signal lights
The most of us can't aford the Prodrive WRC (Kevlar/Carbon) headlight units,
and the signal lights are usely in the headlamp unit, like UK300 unit's or morettes or even standard....
PS, don't mind my spelling... I'm Dutch

I see from the pics you have gone a head and not put indicators in.
Lovely bumper, and all credit to you.
But there a loads of Replica!!! bumpers out there with no indicators in them just looks like DR motorsports one and evey one elses..
Thought you would of been different.
Looks like im gonna have to spend some cash and buy one with them in.

looking at it there are a few little thing wrong.
The grooves are not right eather side of the grill next to the head lamps
The Side covers i.e. fog lamp covers are ment to be flush and not in set.
AND yes no indicators.
no one seams to do a propper replica bumper of the S7s and S8s
And the one place that does, wants stupid money for it.

AWB is doing a very good job
There's bin a lot of changes throu out the years, and a lot of mods...
you don't want to have the first of the MY01 (s7) WRC, because it's ugly
the my02(S8) WRC is much nicer, and have a very nice tarmac or gravel splitter, later they changed to a rubber splitter....

I didnt want to sound un kind but if im going to spend time any money on a replica bumper im not wanting people to criticise me or the bumper when at shows saying WELL THATS WRONG AND THAT AND THAT.
You see where im coming from???
I have 6 people wanting a proper replica bumper but flat refuse at paying silly money for one.
Ive worked with Impreza WRCs for many years and know what they should and should not look like. they only ran the S7s and 8s for 2 years before changing to blob eyes.

From subaru.com :
After competing the first two rounds, the 02 specification of Impreza WR Car was brought in from Round 3, Tour de Corse. The only external change is that the carbon made lips installed beneath the front bumper has been changed to soft resin made splitters. Aside from this, the roof ventilator has been removed after the Round 8 Safari Rally. As much less the external change has been done, internal development was done for every Rally event held. The exhaust manifold, flywheel and turbo-chargers were altered and improved to allow the improvement of the torque characteristics within the normal range of 4500 to 5000. The drive shaft, front housing, and steering column had been constantly improved in rigidity in order to light weight and up grade the drivability. Other than this, the sponsorship by 555 has returned after 5 years, and the coloring of the car is altered according to the Rally event between The Six Stars Subaru color and 555 color.
Specifications
L/W/H: 4,405mm/1,770mm/1,390mm
Weight: 1,230kg
Wheelbase: 2,535mm
Max Output : 300bhp / 5500rpm
Max torque : 48kg-m / 4000rpm

I appreciate comments , good and bad , If anyone had bothered to ask me first I would have explained :- I have been sent so many pictures of this bumper, thankyou btw , which all seem to be different in many ways . I chose therefore to make a Base/Basic bumper first . Once this mould is made I can take a fibreglass bumper and do the other versions ie; Indicators , detachable foglamp covers , foglamp covers with shorter ribs etc etc . The basic shape is the difficult part tbh so once this is done the rest is easy . The few people who have asked me about this have all wanted different things so I've choosen this approach to try to make something that can cater for everyone .
Thanks again for all your comments .
Hawk eye next how many of those are there
