Front Bumper and Bodykit

[gravelrash2004]

I am in discussions with a customiser who does fibreglass,
what would you all like as a fibreglass kit? something like cycovan or something more modern. I am currently discussing having a Mk5 bumper made that looks similar to a Mk6 but without the need to go to a Mk4 front grille. and a smoother line

let me know your ideas and i will see what he and i can come up with and costs.

Cheers

He said body kit, not Roo bar

Here this is sometimes my idea for a front spoiler. One could realise the original model from 2 front fenders.



If a rear apron also lets me sometimes go by the head
if it should come to a set please also sometimes clarify what then a delivery to Germany would cost (is maybe already a little bit far ahead taken.... )
I will try whole also sometimes in 3d program and go through sometimes a few ideas...
Maybe comes in sometime 1:1 product, besides, out

If somebody has, perhaps Blueprints (3side outline) of the transit 95-2000)

thanks for the link
maybe what occurs to me in addition
and I rather to the Cossy style tends

[grunty]

Inerested for sure, something with vents a bit like the cossy or vectra gsi style but without the basking whale jap extremes would be good .

[AlanN]

I quite like the vent styling on the ends

any news?

[gravelrash2004]

most ideas taken on board and have some provisional pricing for a kit. there didnt seem to be the groundswell that we were anticipating so this will most likely be a small run and a make to order part

we are focussing at the moment on a bumper for the Smiley, should be possible to fit on earlier models of a similar shape.
also working on the premise that most people are interested in an "over bumper" with a small modification to the existing one, making it easuer to succesfully mount.

Keep the ideas coming, the mold isnt finalised and changes can occur before the final one is fabricated and fixed to my van

i'm defo interested in this as well, any chance you could incorporate some holes for foglights in the bumper next to vents like this

or make them into the same sort of shape then people could cut them out if they wanted

sort of but bigger spot lights you'd need to cut away the front panel a bit these only just fit

[robbie.cee]

Perhaps somewhere to fit some LED DRL's? wink wink lol

Thats the idea, just need to find cheap readily available spots to get sizes of

You'll probably find that people will be waiting to see what design(s) you come up with before saying they want one.
I know I am!
