After market front bumper fitted

[life of bryan]

Well I'm back after my month long stint in the naughty corner for posting a PM and I have done a few bits of paint work in that time to the car like had my hard top and TTE rear spoiler resprayed due to a poor paint job previously on the spoiler and a nasty stone chip and a couple of scratches on the hard top but the most noticeable thing is my new front bumper,after £120 paint job,£30 facelift number plate holder and £20 of badges here's the result:

Before:


After but grill needs to be washed:

Don't really like the bumper (it's those grills either side of badge, rest looks good) but the paint job looks like a good match!

You got/getting side skirts, looks pretty low, must look fugly if you don't have skirts?

Welcome back to the fold. Car's looking very nice. Is it a Varis bumper? I am a big fan of diverting from the Stock look, esp of the pre facelift. And yes, you need a full kit on not just part of one.

I am in two minds on that bumper. I love the two upper vents, not a fan of the big smiling grill below it though. I do like the way the bonnet lines work down the bumper to a point too.

It is certainly unique. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

I like the bumper, but you need a complete kit.
Did you buy it from prolex?

I like it Bry, what make is it?

[life of bryan]

I have no idea what make it is and suspect it is the only one in the UK,I think a black and red TTE badge would have gone really well on the front.

hmmmm...I'm in two minds about that bumper. It really reminds me of the front end of an MG TF.

I agree

I reckon I could alter the smiley grill with some front bumper inserts each side I could have made up.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it!

I kind of see what your saying but that's a bit like saying the MR2 reminds me of an MGTF.

I like it, the lines from the bonnet onto the bumper, upper grills go well and the bottom grill is like the facelift bumper (without the split). Good choice and great spray job on it too.

Little bit of research and I found it's Abflug http://at.abflug.jp/outlet/





It actually has nice side skirts and rear bumper too, I'm not one for bodykits on the MK3 but this one is rather good imho.
Nice work Bryan, the paint quality looks superb.

Oh, they also do this bad boy

[uktotty]

Good work Sherlock Nic
If it is genuine Abflug and not a copy, then its really not cheap!!

Good find Bryan

[Wabbitkilla]

Well I actually started by reference on Prolex UK as he had a picture of it on his website.
Was easy after that

[uktotty]

I am guessing Bryan didnt buy it from Prolex though

[Wabbitkilla]

Oh the irony!
Better steer clear of that subject methinks.

[life of bryan]

Nice one Nic,it would have bugged me not knowing.I am very confident this is a genuine one and not a copy as it has a feel of really good quality with an OEM solidness and all the fixing holes were in the correct place making it a doddle for me to fit.

[Wabbitkilla]

Yeah Bryan, it does look the business ... good quality kit.

You going to keep an eye out for the skirts and rear bumper dressings?
