Paint the rear bumper blue to match the front

 

Hadn't thought of that

 

Frayz,

just in case you missed this

Cheers neil, could of saved myself a grand...

lol, pieces of **** those things, wouldnt put one on my £250 fiesta!!

 

LOL as always Frayz sits on the fence

 

On the fence with 2 loaded shooters mate.

Why hold back?

 

Never said you should hold back mate

 

 

Id say the bumper is ready for paint now. Its about as good as think i can get it.

While its off in the paintshop, i plumb in the cooler pipework

 

Cracking job there mate

 

Cheers dude, i dont think im capable of getting it any better. Should look better once its painted.

Hopefully you wont notice th imperfections in it.

 

holy **** frayz that is MAHOOOOOOOSIVE

top job on the bumper cutting, couldnt get it much more perfect really.


cant wait to see it all finished, are you meshing up the cooler area? any fogo on the cooler?

 

Mesh and logo are both in thought mate, however i wont mesh it if i can get mesh that matches the OE quality. Good quality black plastic coated stuff is quite hard to find i think. SO i may leave it as is.
I did think about having the "Mocom" logo on it but i think its a bit unrequired and "carlos fandango".

I mean its written up my car in 6 foot letters, dunno if i wanna put it on the cooler too lol.

I think im gonna run it as is for the mo and then see how "In your face" it looks. Im also contemplating painting the cooler black still?

But am put off buy it looking manky and stone chipped etc.

This is the cleanest mesh job ive seen so far.

 

ye know what you mean, i would stick with OE colour and no logo, possibly STI like the WRC car.

Mesh, shame you cant get one for your shape like i have on mine for the lower area would be perfect.

 

re the mesh, why not get the mesh you want and then have it powder coated. pm georgem for details on where he got the bits for his kit car done. they're in basildon and the finish was superb. iirc the cost was minimal too.

 

Bumpers gone for paint guys...

Watch this space

 

Some photoshops

Silver or black cooler?

 

Erm, thay are both silver?

 

I know that... but gives you an idea lol

You know the drill

 

Duncans looks really cool in black

 

But his is on a blue car. Mines black and i cant help but think its too much black

 

silver with black mesh. will help to protect the fins. or get it done charcoal grey?

 

Anthracite metalic?

 

yup. not seen another out there like that. not sure how it would effect the cooling properties though?

 

Will only make cooling better, ultimate in heat transfer is to have it black.

 

as it disipates heat faster than any other colour. got to be black then as it serves a purpose.

 

It does but still not convinced i like it mate. I gotta like it before it serves its purpose lol.

 

I would also say black as the silver stands out a lot!

Looking good though frayz, very good work as always with cutting the bumper

 

Well it's a black space as standard so could be a way of keeping it subtle too. but then the silver does look mean.

 

Frayz,

personally I do not think it will be too black, and dispite it's huge size will make the install more subtle. And anyway what was in that space before, a black bumper.

Duncan's is black for function purposes, as you say it is the most thermally efficent.

Either way, it will still be cool, and even better when it is cooling a 2.5!!!!!!
