Bomex Front Bumper..

[Jimlad]

Okay my Bomex bumper, front and rear splitters will be here tomorrow.

Curious though as to what you think.. the gap in the bumper.. mesh or not ?? Is it supposed to get meshed ?? I dunno. If so.. should I just get the bodyshop to mesh infront of my radiator also ?? They meshed my scoop without me even saying anything to them... I was gonna do it myself. Just don't want it back with mesh there if there isn't supposed to be.

Once I get those parts up in my attic I'll nearly have a whole car up there... lol

I wasn't going to get the black stripping painted as I do quite like it... but because the bomex bumper covers some of it I'm gonna get it done. Don't think it looks good half covered. ( side repeater area )

bump

The idea of having them painted black does sound pretty cool, and wouldnt look outa place on ur car at all.

Wasnt gonna reply, but thawt i mite just give a 2nd opinion after the bump ;)

has anyone ever seen a silver meshed bomex bumper ?? Not too sure what it will look like. Possibly black is the way to go. Maybe infront of the radiotor also. Don't like the silver mesh look that much.

Not bad on the scoop tho.

[ZeroBlade]

Can't say i've seen a silver meshed bomex m8, but going black'l keep u colour co-ordinated w. the rest of the car's look overall.

[Jimlad]

I think I'll go black mesh.

I'll also be getting the black stripes down the side of the car painted red too.

I'll be black meshing my dark silver TOMS front.

Thought about black mesh .. I decided on rust coloured .. it's like that deliberatly .. honest ..

[Jimlad]

simply silver mesh sprayed black or black plastic stuff ??

What about my existing mesh in my scoop... go black also ?

i think siler on the ne w bumper may look to much, i saw a few 2's at a meet where people had meshed infont of the original 'grill' it looked rubbish. I'd say black, cars with fronts that look like stuff could disapear into them look good. Silver mesh right up front looks Nova..

red bumper with black mesh will look very 355ish - nice.

i thought about painting my standard bumper rad grill (u know - the long bar with the 3 i think attachments on it under numberplate) black for this similar effect, but with it being rev 2 and having a black lip - may be too messy.

I put FINE silver mesh on my new Tom's front just the other day....It looks similer to the one in the pic....Im happy to post a pic of what it looks like meshed :)

DEFINITLY go fine mesh as a pose to the bigger holes stuff.

interested in seeing a pic mate.

[Jimlad]

and look just what came through the door. Bluddy massive !!! Getting this in the attic is gonna be a struggle... lol. I need bigger ladders for starters..... would be easier if it wasn't so big and didn't flex.

Oh well.... all bodyparts now here waiting to be fitted.

Actually.... getting all this along to the bodyshop might be a struggle.... lol. May have to hire a van or something.

It's what T-bars and 1st gears are for Jimlad ..

[KiwiMR2]

:(

[Jimlad]

why the sad face Kiwi...

also Bibbs.. I get the tbar bit... but 1st gears ?.. what's that got to do with anything ?

[TheNissanMan]

Had mine without the mesh, looked great IMHO with that nice deep gaping hole ready to swallow up any unsuspecting children you might come accross on the streets

[KiwiMR2]

Had a pic + post but it got stuffed up and I haven't had a chance to get another...will do though! :)

Cheers
