Wasn't happy with the 1st design for the front bumper sections, so back to the drawing board. New design will incorporate our canards.

Hi Mark

Half way through the tooling on the Subaru 2011 STi WRX fender flares
Next process is to wax the 'A' face out, this will determine the thickness of the parts. For this application we are making the part 3.75mm thick with a 6.25mm edge which you can run double sided tape (supplied with hardware) to ,so fitting will be easier. Fixing kit will also include 20x M5 rivnuts and A2 stainless steel socket screws.........
