Title: colour coding and "bodykits"
Post by: joesgti on 22 October 2008, 11:46
right, i now have front, sides and my R32 rear,

i was wondering if anybody had smoothed the front splitter into the bumper so there is no line seperating the two?? im thinking of doing this? does anybody have any pics?  :smiley:

Never seen that done before but if you dig up that picture of the black Scirocco from a couple of weeks back then i think that had something similar done with photoshop.  :smiley:

This would be huge job! Just would not look good and work; think loads of filler and cracks after the first speed bump!

could look good but if you hit a curb parking or something it could turn into something very expensive :(

You can get a special filler with an amount of flex in it for jobs like that. It's the kind of mod that doesn't suit a daily driver though.. looks good for a couple of weeks but then the scuffs and scrapes show.

Agreed, i would really avoid doing this

I would rather have the split. Means any damage cause will cost alot less to fix, as you only have to buy a small part rather than the whole front section!

While we are talking about making 2 pieces into one any one got any pics of one piece back bumpers. I know hurdy posted a pic of a red 1.4 with one but i havn't seen any others.
Also is it possible to do plastic welding on the R32 one and turn that into a one piece bumper excluding the zorst insert of course.  :smiley:
