That smoothed wing marker is such a subtle mod that most people don't notice but it makes the car look so much cleaner. I like the little flare on the rear arches - thinking about that for the front or mine (and maybe the rear too if I invest in some coilovers)

LewisL

iTrader: (3)

Needed the flare on the rear for the wheels but the front just needed rolling

Yea so much nicer with the markers gone 1st thing I noticed about yours

OK so decided to make a rear bumper as the wagon 1 no longer followed the line of the arch and was now too long anyway. V7 bumpers wagon and saloon dont line up but was told v8 and v9's did I was lied to lol but they were close enough for us to work with so got hold of 2 bumpers 1 wagon 1 saloon

1st cut off the ends off the saloon bumper as these follow the lines of the arches.

Then trimmed the mounting brackets to fit

Then cut the wagon bumper and saloon ends where we wanted to join them

Then some proper plastic welding and a lil re-shaping of the bottom section as the top lined up perfectly.

Now all it needs is a lil magic with the filler and it will be perfect!

Looks amazing, love the work on the rear bumper

LewisL

Think it needed it really this 1 follows the lone of the aarch so much better and the current bumper ribs now and again on the tyres so needed to be sorted! Will have to trim part of the rear wing itself behind the bumper as with this 1 its exposed so should get the clearence I need so can go lower lol although I havegran out of coilover on the front

Never understood why they made the newage wagons look so narrow.

Much prefer the wide arches on the saloon, wouldn't mind a wagon but they don't look the part for me. This is how they should have looked from the factory.

LewisL

iTrader: (3)

That's what I was aiming for really a factory look on them there are a few fibre glass 1's out there but not the look I wanted

stevie1982

iTrader: (16)

you sticking with the oem front bumper or you fancy fitting the prodrive sti front bumper, think that will look the nuts

LewisL

iTrader: (3)

Yea I know I really want a prodrive bumper just can't bring myself to spend that much on a bumper though lol

I have some fog lamp covers for mine and I do like it with the spliter etc.
