Removed Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 chickenwiretastic buddy Are those old pictures or did you get a new front lip? better than not having anything on it front lip is actually being repaired very soon by Glyn's friend so yeah they are my old pics, but as you can see from the date posted, they were saved from the now defunct forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 better than not having anything on it That's arguable front lip is actually being repaired very soon by Glyn's friend so yeah they are my old pics, but as you can see from the date posted, they were saved from the now defunct forum How can I see the date posted? You mean Jan 2nd the 2006? I thought you might have had the lip repaired over Xmas. Not tempted to get a PolyUrethane lip to save any future accidents? And just out of interest, who's Lester? Is he the UK distributor for this kit now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Very nice indeed. Although i did notice someone squatting down and having a crap in a couple of pics. Is that the desired effect!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 That's arguable no it isn't How can I see the date posted? You mean Jan 2nd the 2006? I thought you might have had the lip repaired over Xmas.Not tempted to get a PolyUrethane lip to save any future accidents? And just out of interest, who's Lester? Is he the UK distributor for this kit now? no I collected it from Steve-B over Xmas but it wasn't repaired. No need for poly one since if it got caught the way mine did, would have cracked too.... once repaired and repainted it will be paintshielded though, since it was already peppered with chips... Lester is the Company who actually makes them, in Italy (after "buying" the rights from Speed-Racing) and it's cheaper to deal with them directly and get it shipped over (or deal with Emanuele, even cheaper) than go through a Uk distributor...

StephenG Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 What did you do? I thought it was a mild knock, nothing major... PU doesn't crack or shatter like FG (it's malleable), though it'll tear or warp, but you really have to be going some to do it! Is paintshield an armorfend style clear plastic protection film, yeah? I gather it will have to be cut to shape for it. Anyway. We can start a new thread on chickenwire if you like. It clearly *is* arguable, because if it wasn't, I'd agree with you I have two drilled 2mm thick aluminium sheets ready to go in my rear apertures - just need to find an aftermarket foglight to go into them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 lip got stuck out of ferry ramps on V shaped ramp. basically a PU lip would have warped of course PS is clear and yeah it'll be a one off job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vestitas Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Val, is that a new rear valance, or the same one as you had when you came up here? I really really like it , but am still concerned about the fit, but it looks like it fits better in the pictures than I remember it......

Removed Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 the same mate, pics look better since you can see it properly from a low angle i guess.... PS If plans go the way they are supposed to go, I want to completely integrate it with the rear bumper.... now how cool would that be?

PS If plans go the way they are supposed to go, I want to completely integrate it with the rear bumper.... now how cool would that be? I had a look at getting this smoothed in also. Price was realistic, but I have a *slight* problem in that it isn't 100% straight, due to the slightly different heights of the NISMO exhaust. So I'd have to get a small bit of pipe-bending done first, so I went off the idea and concentrated on other stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 if you made it to one piece, you could start higher up and avoid the issue of the exhaust tips not being lined up properly, after all the meshes would be cut to size afterward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintshield Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 What did you do? I thought it was a mild knock, nothing major...

Your penchant for imported bodykits Stephen would need a Bumper and sill re-design if you were going that way and would mean an all day Job (Maybe 2) depending on the complexity of the kit Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
