That i must say looks amazing!

I agree. Top job.

Where will the number plate go?

All looks well done though...

Im guessing the plate will be one of those ones you just stick on when you have to but the majority of the time lives in the front window

I hope you got through all the water all right with that huge scoop of yours!

Wow! That's a nice peice of work! Well done! Whether I'd have it or not is irrelevent, the finish looks perfect!

did it start life as the same bumper? Where did you get hold of the peice to add on to it?

WOW!!! I love it mate, great job!!!

What are your plans with the rest of the car...are you carrying the smooth look throughout???

that is one off mate looks mad what splitter u used at the bott om of it

it's my original mk1 bumper. bought a 97 ibiza splitter directly from seat.

the bodyshop cut and shut the splitter to fit the width of the sei, filled in the recess in the splitter, then attached it to the bottom of the original bumper and fibreglassed on (apparantly he used some super strength plastic compound too). they then filled in the gap between the splitter and the bumper to make it into one unit.

the slats were cut out as well as the number plate recess and smoothed over, and the blue bar was totally removed. they fabricated the whole top bit (near the bonnet catch) to line up with the headlights.

also smoothed over bonnet too.

it looks smart as fook... only problem is getting out of ramped places

thanks for the comments though

as for the numberplate... your guess is as good as mine!!

A sticker number plate on the bottom of the bumper might not look too bad, either that or just leave it off till you start getting stopped by the police and then worry about where to put it!

was fiddling around with putting the plate at the bottom, it kinda makes the front end look really tall and a bit ugly

i've been naughty and ordered a custom sized plate, reckon i'm gonna mount it on the grille just underneath the top of the meshing.

shouldn't really do it but i don't wanna spoil my front end with a big ugly plate

first day after i got it back i pulled into a petrol station and a policeman stared right at my car, didn't say a thing. i've bodged up a stand for the windscreen at the moment so it's clearly visible, they can't really argue

Well im afraid they can cos to be legal i believe the plate has to be at the most frontal part of the car.............so on the bumper!

....and mounted vertically.

Fantastic!!! I love it.

Intercooler in the middle would look well smart

to cool the air coming out of blower inside the car?

at the moment all you'd see poking out of my grille would probably be a few empty crisp packets and a dead fox or two, my engine is a state

all in good time though

Looks good, whats your plans for the rest of the car?
