glrnet Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 That bubble wrap only looks good in Gunmetal!! :)Did you get a boot rack for the fold up chair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Ha ha nice one Graham.... I really wanted to keep it a surprise for Wales, although there's a number of people who won't be attending, so won't be able to pass comment. So I am thinking of using this thread to show the progress of test fitting, painted and then fitting. By the end of today it should be fitted, photo's taken then onto the computer to work some photoshop magic and get the end result. The parts will be sent away this week for painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 There looks to be green under that bubble wrap... Pauls old rear bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Okay, so here we go. I've had serious issues trying to photo shop the bumper as I'm technically useless at it. So I've given up and giving you a few shots of the day. For stupid reason I forgot to take photo's with the front bumper, although my mate who lended a hand took one or two on his phone so I'll get him to send those across. One big favour though..... if anyone could photo shop the rear bumper that would be most helpful. I'll need to ask again once the front bumper pics come through. Oh - the side skirts, that's another story, couldn't get the oem ones off. The strangest of issues - the copy front bumper fits better than the original chargespeed, who'd of thought that eh? So it's not just going to be a case of sending it off for painting. There's some slight damage to the front bumper that will need cleaning up, smoothing over etc. The rear bumper will need some drilling for the bumper to fit against oem holes. Side skirts who knows. So it looks like the costs will increase as there's plenty more work to do. At least this test fit highlights these issues in advance. Anyway a few before and after photo's excuse the screw drivers on the rear bumper holding the diffuser in place Tada........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Looks Good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Now I know I really shouldn't have looked at this thread, I really like the look of that rear end, would look great in black on a roadster. Ummmmmmm that does look sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You could always leave the bumpers off, it would go nicely with your weight saving scheme. The rear looks good, it's the only aftermarket rear bumper that I can think of that I really like the look of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Nice one intro looks nice in pastel. It's made even harder because it's in White, but great effort you can the potential outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Nice one intro looks nice in pastel. It's made even harder because it's in White, but great effort you can the potential outcome Yeah it looks a bit odd due to the lack of reflections, as you say it's because it's white to start with, but you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 For sure, I just can't wait now to get it painted and fitted now. Have to say it's not the easiest job getting the rear bumper off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah it's going to look excellent when it's all fitted and painted. Can't wait to see the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 And here's the front bumper courtesy of my mate who saved the day, because I didn't take any with my camera for some stupid reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Can't wait to see the end product The MESH on the NISMO V2 would look good in black.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Had a quick go at it for you as I'm unable to sleep Not easy to do... as any donor pic you find will obviously have different scenery/lighting reflecting off it Nope it gives you a general idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Grand Job!! Even the reflections were retained. Thanks matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Heck just noticed the screwdrivers have been removed and there's a nice Nismo number plate in there. Man that's friggin awesome. If I take a picture of my house, any chance you could turn it into a mansion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
