New Bumper

[Dave]

Folks, looking for suggestions, i'm going to be getting a new front bumper but need someone else's opinions.
i've got the top mix kit at the moment, so i've the side skirts to think of.

cheers

The veilside is the most impressive but as i have found out that it drops down so much on the front that if you have your FTO lowered it seams to catch kurbs and speedbumps with anoying ease but if i was going to replace my veilside bumper (taking into account i have the du-cutro combat or more commenely know as top mix side skirts ) i would go with the modified metal bumper, don't have link to hand as i'm on someone elses pc i haven't been able to get near my desk in work

i think i know the one your talking about it's on the trd white turbo fto, not too sure i like that, maybe just cos it was on that car.... i'm leaning towards the veilside anyways...

I like the BS Style front nose cone on the Funky Product website.
This front bumper looks a lot better without the mesh that so many people put on this spoiler - not sure how it would look with the Top Mix side skirts though.

How about just adding a carbon fiber splitter to the bottom of the standard bumper! Take a look at the first picture on this link - Its something that I wanted to do - before I took the easy route with the top mix front splitter.

Theres also a BS style bumper on there on the gunmetal grey FTO with the Carbon Fibre Bonnet.

yeah i've got a top mix splitter at the moment, but i've a couple of mods on the way that are going to need a bumper with a gaping hole in the front of it, the small standard oval one just isn't big enough.
i like the BS one but i know well it'd look pants with my side skirts so looking like veilside for the time being!

Tell us more! For air intake or something?

IMO, Veilside kits don't look great in the flesh. Personally, I think they spoil the FTOs clean lines. If you could a Bozz speed bumper and modify the centre section, you'd easily have enough room for your intercooler:

Agreed - that is one sweet bumper - but please don't put any mesh in there. Now though - where do you put your number plate??

[Dave]
