Hi!..

I would say that it's not easy, but it isn't impossible..

There must be one tube of this

keeping parts together..

It takes a little time and nervers when you carefully heat it and try to get parts apart.

Would really like to see that indicator mod!..

I am not sure what is involved with getting these apart but will watch with interest, I was thinking of doing the same thing last year but kept having to fix things instead!

thanks m8!

that "see-through glass" is glued with silicone, you haveto heat it carefully and try get it off, I check if i have any pics that would help you!..

 

[barchetta_97]

I think this is only pic I have that could help..
You can see that "groove" that goes around this part, thats where the "see-through glass" is glued.

 

[F4usT]

thanks m8, it will help. only silicone-glue is holding see-through glass... I thought maybe there are some buckles(??)... i will have to fix bumper so that will be good time to clean headlights... now i am thinking to paint whole bee to black i looks powerful... Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
well, sometimes i sounds like Indians... howgh!

(and smells like 10 spirits)

Yep, if quality of those bumpers is good I think their prices are quite reasonables. Would be happy to hear if someone has some experience of those..

I think there are too many bad experiences of not OEM bumpers, and over 400e with shipping + painting ain't really a pocket money..

But I think that facelift v2 could be one option for me.. I kind of like mk1 rear end so just thinkin of doing front.. mk1½ :slayer:

 

[barchetta_97]

I doubt this but have to ask..
Have anyone made or seen "wind humps" on b? would be good project for winter time..

I'm thinking something smaller than that dedica had, there ain't really room for that if planning to use soft top..



Maybe something like boxter speedster humps? Can't imagine how they would look.. :shrug:



Maybe I just have to get another soft top cover and start to mess with it..

Have investigate this more..

I've only seen this pic, there might be others out there?

 

[F4usT]

that's on my to do list... well, main problem is soft top that is close (drawn with red line) when is on, so those wind humps cannot be big enough... but, if you close that hole on soft top fold (between fold and yellow line) you can create those humps bigger. you can even create those humps over that line, closer to rollbars... my idea is to put some speakers inside...

I was thinking something similar! but I was planning to move that yellow line even further since I don't have rollbars, yet.. and maybe under extended soft cover would be place for speakers..

Gotta give you a big clap my friend, I am excited to see your future pics.

Let us know how you get on.

I think I will forget that facelift v2 front bumper till now, just realized that I should get cambelt changed before next summer, and maybe brake disks and pads too..

Does anyone know where to get cambelt kits+variator with international shipping?

In Finland these are so overpriced...
