Doing Front Bar

[tryg]

well, I am thinking of an RRM CVT turbo kit... but I don't want to be the first... as there are no reports (even from the US) about how well it works (or how poorly, heaven forbid!)

Sidemount for the win

I've been pulled up twice since I've had it and the police haven't said anything about it, I did get a comment on my front lip though :p

It looks good! I want this mod but I really don't want to cut the front of my car up and don't want my car to look too much like a fakevo.

Maybe putting vinyl where you are meant to cut the bumper or mesh behind the holes on the addon might save cutting the bumper.

Looks great though, well done

i considered sidemount, but prefer perfect fit for my plates.. i dnt think theres any available..

yeh, you have to cut the bumper if you're goin for nose grille. the hole kinda goes in a little bit, and you need to cut the bumper to have it sitting flush..

car looks great btw!

Sickkkk mateeee!

Looking good as!!

Hope to see it in person at the East Side Mini Meet on the 8th!!

Looks good in the pictures.
Is there any chance you can take more photos from the side/ close up?

Yeah I'm away for a couple days but I'll put some up when i get back.

Does this just stick over the centre of your bar, or do you have to cut the centre of your bar and fit this in? Sorry but I can not tell by the photos.

You have to cut the front bar to fit it through. If you have a look at the prep pics you can see the back of the cover and you could probably cut/sand those parts where the holes are so it would sit flush on the bar and then just have vinyl behind it.

thx for all the kudos btw

Oh, I don't wont to cut the centre of my bar out.
Do you know what effect removing the centre of your bar has if your have an accident in the front of your car?

its not cutting the whole centre of your front bar.. (atleast for wat i did)
just cutting holes on the centre of ur front bar to make room for the holes of nose grille..

Are there any pictures of the holes required to put in the bar to clear the mesh?
Or are there any inserts that can be fitted directly over our bars without putting holes in?

[Exomondo]

You can see in this picture the raised bit(s), if you smoothed them flat then you would not need to cut holes in your front bar and it would sit flush.



A quick update though, the ends came away a bit so I grabbed some araldyte from the local bunnings and re-did them. I'd recommend pulling off all the 3M adhesive and use your own adhesive instead.

[Exomondo]

Yes it's filthy because I was belting down the freeway towards the beach in the evening so I copped the guts of just about every bug on eastlink on my front bar. This is hard up against the bar sitting flush.

[tryg]

Exomondo, have you thought about making all your mesh the same?

[Exomondo]

yeah im still on the hunt for some matching mesh, then ill figure out a way to secure it on there, should be easy with plastic mesh.

[lukeaday]

Change the upper and lower OEM mesh to the stuff you used on the centre pieces

[tryg]

yeah, like he said....!
