New front bumper, headlights & grills

[Aurelien_D]

Hello,

Since July I ordered my front bumper on ebay germany, I just receive it from the bodyshop, the time to find some parts, headlights ..

It's feel like I changed my car, I like this aggresive spoiler !

(sorry for my poor english)

good work, been dreaming of doing the same mods to mine,and im starting to prefer those wheels over the 108"s

Nice mod you did there. That castle in pic #7 resembles strangely Moulinsart Castle from the Tintin comic strip.

Looks great man!! Definitely a big difference with ///M bumper and clear lights.

Looks good

I did it thanks to your post

did you attach the front of engine compartment screening ? I think it vibrates when roling ... I'm thinking about screwing some aluminum parts ...

pmeloche => you're right, but it's Cheverny Castle that had be used as model.

Thank you for your comments

Real nice work putting the ///M front and clear lights on it. Totally changes the car

The '78' left on your number plate, is that the Arrondissement in France? I used to live in '78' at Marley le Roi...

[Aurelien_D]

Yes, I live close to Versailles. 78 is department: "Yvelines"

You're welcome! Glad to see my DIY is being put to good use.

Are you referring to the lower front grill mesh? It should snap into place behind the bumper with some locking tabs. If the grill is still loose/rattling, then it might not be snapped all the way. You shouldn't need to attached some aluminum parts.

Watch out for those low curbs and driveways. Those 'fangs' are very prone to scrapage

just done last Friday, on pedestrian way. it's not visible, just "by under", don't know how to say that

Yesterday, I lost 4 screws of "part 6" at 80mph on highway, I had to stop and left it in a garbage (plastic with fiber, 150$ ). I was talking about this part in my last post...



Be careful if you want to do the same mod, part 6 is not correctly assembled.

I think I will cut my own with Polycarbonat sheet

[mister_roger]

With the original bumper, the front edge of part 6 neatly tucks under the lower front lip of the bumper. With the ///M Bumper, the front edge hangs loose because it's not the same height Those 6 screws should be enough to keep at least the sides and rear of part 6 secure. Mine is loose in the front, but haven't noticed any vibration or rattling.

[Aurelien_D]

those 6 screws are not enough...

After loosing this part, I increased mpg... but what about wet conditions for belt and pulley which are very low ...
