safcdixon Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Well i think its about time i update this ive not done anything on the car since the week before christmas been really busy with work (not really just seems like a valid excuse ) But since ive signed up for Scottish modified i had better get a crack on heres what ive been up to since the last update, not alot unfortunatly but it will give you guys an idea on the look im going for Firstly i keyed the suface ready for the fibreglass to go on, i then used some plastic mesh to cover the hole and bond the fibreglass too, this worked better then expected tbh i then layed 5 layers of fibre glass in a cris/cross effect, until i had it ready for a few layers of filler, The bumper still needs more work doing on this side nad the other side starting but gives an insight to what im currently on with, once ive finshed the bumper i have a few other little car park dints too sort and the exhaust hole on the rear bumper too flush, then it should be ready for the primer coat when it warms up a little Ive also put the trd back on as i bought a carbon blade so for now the trd is on (yes im massively indecisive) This is the colour and look im going to try and achieve And the inspiration for the front Edited March 27, 2013 by Littler Embedded pics (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Quick progress mate, them front bumper pods are asking for trouble, they will crack. Love that colour though Cheers Rob I figured they might but im hoping they might last a little while til i can get a pro too do it properly Yeah the colour is amazing i LOVE IT! , i made the mistake of finding the anthracite thread on supraforums and basically decided it had to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I seriously hope it does not crack though mate, the front bumpers are very flexy and will always flex, this is your problem.... A proper insert pod is what you need as that mesh will flex with the polyurethane bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper insert pod is what you need as that mesh will flex with the polyurethane bumper So would i be better getting inserts of some type Rob and bonding them on? im sure Westy mentioned the inserts the other day when i mentioned what i was doing, does anyone know where i can get these? if not il try the bumper in primer and drive it for a week or two and see if its are ok hopefully it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I like the idea your doing but yeah best buy the proper pods, the grey supra has not even flushed them in and I think that look is ace.. His are prob removable and fitted for racing. Westy is the loser you want to find stuff! He knows all links ect ect, don't know how he does it lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows all links ect ect, don't know how he does it lmao yeah i think they are for drag racing etc probobly an engine temp thing, but i really like the look its a very aggresive style, im sure darrets were the same tbh, il see if westy chimes in if not il drop him a pm hes got a mod mind thats how Hopefully on the test drive week theyll be fine, and for the whole time before the show and then crack on the way to edinburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
