What do you guys think? The old "boxter" front bumper just wasn't for me. I gotta say that i needed to do a little more custom fitting and shaving for a Saturday afternoon than i planned, but it was well worth the hard work.

Tony... you are the man!! thanks bro!

 

Pretty sweet, the over all fitment looks great

 

Looking good...need something out back now....

 

Need something in the back to balance out the downforce looks good otherwise.

 

Tony should be able to match a wing for that front.

 

Looking good!

 

looks great. What types of fitment issues did you face with the precision bumper?

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! A work in progress..... aren't they all?

If you're familiar with the bumper piece hidden under the hood cover, this is "sandwiched" in a bracket held with one screw on each corner. The fiberglass was too thick to slide in this bracket and i had to shave down the entire lip. In addition, when i finally got it to slide in, if i set it all the way back to srew it in the factory holes, the hood layed on top of the bumper. With this, I had to slide the bumper out o the factory bracket, and drill new holes in both the new bumber and bracket to fit properly.

On the corners where the side markers sit, this was bilt up extremely high and i had to use a dremel tool to shape this for the markers to fit at all. After making the signals fit, i was not able to se the corner screw to secure the mmper to the car as the material was too thin at this point to hold a load and didn't want to chance breaking the piece of that holds the light. So i had to be creative in secring the bumper to the existing fiberglass panel on the chassis of the car.

Theoverall fitment is great and i'd definately buy more products. I just wasn't expecting this many modiications to the actual car itself.

 

thanks for the info. looks like you did a great job on the install.

 

Looks awesome, I would go with some clear side markers.

Which bumper is this from Precision? I like how it changes the MK1 look, might consider it myself..

 

Thanks mec.... I maybe a rare breed... but i think i like the amber lights.

This is the GT2 bumper with the atermarket lower spoiler. ( Tony carries both ) it sits another inch lower than the factory GT2 lip. So ar so good. I work out o my home office and only see about 100 miles per week. Time will tell if its too low.

 

looks great with the side skirts agreed need a rear spoiler!

 

Tony did mine too recently. Love his work and his attention to detail. You can see my Techart GT Street RS cabriolet by PP in my pics. I get compliments in it every day! Love it!
