Re: BB4 Facelift Front End

Post by vanzep » Sun Aug 02, 2015 4:37 pm

Got the new wings west RS front lip and bumper on today :)
Its had the full facelift treatment with correct indicators and nostrils etc
I also took the opportunity to fit some black mesh infront of the koyo radiator - went with @wurlycorner suggestion of fixing it to the actual bodywork rather than the bumper ;)

Many thanks to @newkid who helped yet again with taking the bumper on and off 8-)
Here is a headless pic of him cable tying the mesh on :?

Nice touch with the mesh. Need to fit some to the 5th gen, so I think I'll follow suit with securing it to the car... Much easier! :D

The bumper and plate mount looks great bud. Need to see some stood back angular shorts though ;)

And I was hoping I was going to be able to put a face to newkid for a sec then :roll: :lol:

Thanks for the positive comments guys :)
I rekon the lude is coming together nicely - its about 85% done :?
Front and back looks good but now i need to address the paintwork inbetween :lol:

Went out for a drive last night and its just brilliant fun to drive on tight twisty roads - should be even better once i get the whiteline rear arb on and fit the new front brakes and pads :)

yep the mesh went in very easy i would have liked a bigger gap between it and the rad but it was a cleaner instal on the inside of the front frame - im sure it will still do the job tho.

will get some more pics of the plate holder for you ;)
