I like the bumper, and I like the car. Just not too sure they belong together...

Kinda reminds me of a Lambo bumper, which is far more angular rather than curvy like the zed.

Both lovely cars, but completely different looking.

Just my opinion though

Not bad, are the grills different too?

Has this been made from two bumpers cut and bonded together, or off the shelf?

The grills are different.
It’s made from two bumpers, the original one and a f32 one, by cutting, bonding and flatting...
 
Just need to add those modern BMW kidney grilles as at least that'd make it look less ridiculous.

I feel like a bit of a douchbag now. Didn't realise you had done it yourself. :(

Just shown it to my mate though who is a Mercedes guy, and he said before he noticed the reg plate "is that the next gen Z4?“ He loves it.

He recons with a private plate and if he saw that behind him he'd assume it's brand new.

Sorry if I came across a bit mean, wasn't my intention. Really is very impressive that you can fabricate something like that yourself, I definitely couldn't!

No worries at all mate. Just want to know people’s thoughts. Thanks for the comments:)
 
Personally, it looks to fussy.
I'm still not keen on the front end of the new Z4 and this looks to much like one.
As long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Take my hat off to you for doing that :thumbsup: lots of hard work and effort.

A good blend of modern style without being too overly fussy.

Do you have any in-progress photos?

I do have few in-progress pictures in my phone, will try to post them later.
 
I'm with [ref]firebobby[/ref], sorry. To me it is far too fussy for the relatively simple lines of the Z4.
From head on it looks good, but as soon as you see the angled shot you realise it doesn't match the rest of the design.

However, don't let one opinion detract from the quality of your work; and if you like it, who else matters. :thumbsup:
