Quick'n'dirty pic of my new front end

[DreXeL]

Better pics to come when I've cleaned the FMIC, but here is a quick phone pic of my new front end:

I also have a new Carbon spoiler to replace the halfrauds special, it looks much better.

Yeah, I know, it's too rice for a lot of people, but I love it, it needs to be seen in the flesh to appreciate it and it looks aggresive as hell

Are those a lot of bent fins (I/C) or crap phone cam?

Bit of both

Looks good, could be the pic/my eyes but does it line up properly?

 

[pinkaardvark]

Think it'd look better with a bit of black mesh over the Intercooler.

 

[Goliath]

I like it, although for some reason the fromt end seems to be a lot longer now

The pic makes it look a lot worse, but there is a bit of a gap in places, typical aftermarket fit TBH

That's the angle of the pic, rex's tend to do that on pics from certain angles. It actually looks a bit shorter IRL compared to my old one, due to being more angular and less rounded.

That is HOT but i still really don't like those lights, matter of opinion though ennit!

Aye. They actually work better with this bumper than the old one though. I'm probably going to ditch the lower driving lights too.

 

[Hate]

yeah, i'd mesh your IC - dont want a pebble through that!

Sorry mate i don't like it at all.
Firstly it looks like it is resting on the front rather than being properly fitted and secondly those lights look well out of place. They have made the lower ones look awkward.
I would get it fitted properly and chuck them top lights and go for a more flush look, after all cars are supposed to be streamlined.
Mesh would make it look better and is needed.

Just my opinion though and i am old so what do i know.

After a second look, it looks a little like you've stolen the front end of an s2k

Looks good, but I also prefer the original flip lights

 

[Sp00n]

I'm gonna go with flip-ups + fog lights, get rid of the lower driving lights and it'll look sex.

 

[alexthecheese]

Can the gaps be sorted? That and a mesh would sort it out, at the moment it looks a bit clunky.

 

[Stellios]

Looks like a bit of a bodge job at the min IMO. Get some mesh on the front, and sort that gap by the bonnet and itll tidy it up. Never really liked those headlights either, much prefer the flip up ones, but IIRC they broke on you?

Agreed, but airflow is everything

 

[agw_01]

Looks pretty good... I like the lip at the bottom.

Any pictures of your old bumper so us people with no memory can compare?

I agree about the lights... the flip up ones will make the car look so smooth!

Not keen on the driving lights in the lower part of the bumper... get a feed from there to the air filters. From what I remember, you don't have a cold air feed at the moment do you?

 

[SgtTupac]

I HATE IT!


Nah looks stunning as usual mate Would love a passenger ride in it at the next track day you goto

thats exactly what i was thinking - kinda angular, maybe too much for a fd... but still looks pretty cool

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

Drex, please stop abusing the visuals of your car.
You know we love the look of the rex, but that's like walking upto Angelina Jolie and punching her in the face a few times to see if she looks better.
