BlindKidSeeks Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 i want this bumper ... SO BAD! any tips on where i can locate one? Quote
LukeAE71 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 There was a pair for sale a while ago, but really they came on overseas slantys so your chances are pretty slim. I have a pair of T18 bars at home which I thought you could cut the ends off of and put the plastic end caps off another set of slanty bumpers to make something very similar to this look. I am still going to try it and will post up how it looks. I was thinking of doing a similar thing with the rear bar on my sedan too, using the plastic end caps cut up. Quote
BlindKidSeeks Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 man i'd be very keen to see how that comes out.... Quote
LukeAE71 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 man i'd be very keen to see how that comes out.... There are a few issues with it which I have already noticed prior. The T18 bar does not follow the lines of the front of the car like it does on a KE70 flat front. I thought to counter this you could put a piece of black rubber stripping on the underneath to cover the panel gap for when you look from above. Also, you either need to use the T18 indicators or find a new place to mount your old indicators, like further down in the stone tray. At the moment I need a new set of T18 indicators as the ones I have are shagged and can't find any anywhere. Quote
ke70dave Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 At the moment I need a new set of T18 indicators as the ones I have are shagged and can't find any anywhere. assuming your talking about the indicators in the bars, ae82 bumper indicators fit perfectly. the lens is the exact right shape. you just have to work out how to mount them in there as the mounting brackets are totally different. i had same problem as you when i put my t18 bars on. i just went to the wreckers and found ae82's were a good option.
