Homer Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Still need the bomex front Bumper. seen them on e-bay for around £150. don't know if that's a good price or what the fitment will be like. That's unbelievably cheap, I'd put money on it being an arse to prep and fit. Always best to ask/search for opinions on here about any companies before buying - there are some really poor quality kits out there. Knight-racer (traders here) are always a good guideline for what you would need to pay for a decent quality replica part. Certainly worth calling and having a chat with them. £400+ would be a more realistic price for a decent quality bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Cheers for the Advice. I'm not scared of doing the Prep work on it and even, doubling the glassing up, but it would depend on the overall sizes for the fitment. had one for my Calibra and it was Naff but the replica Honda one i got was really excellent.

Peter Look forward to this. Those wheels on the original f&f car are discontinued though. You may have trouble there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yeah, i know. Plus i like the wheels i have on now. May just try to get some similar ones later on, or maybe someone will swap some for the one's i have now. they're pretty nice. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well, Just got the car back from the Bodyshop and i'm really impressed with the Paint Job. Unfortunately for me, i took the 1:18th die cast model in and said "paint it like that" and the model itself is not the correct colour orange but all in all i'm really happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Cheers Guys. I know what you mean. I'm tempted to just leave it now cos i like it but in the same mindset "i've started so i'll finish". Worst case scenario, i get sick of the F&F look, all i'll need to do is remove the decals.
