    Try again

    Hi guys can you all remember my shocking front mount intercooler and very shocking front bumper well now i have come up with this ?

    The splitter is off a honda crx del sol and i cut it to fit and smoothed the front bumper as well

    Bear in mind the bumper is not finished yet there still is some filling to do and I have also changed the front mount intercooler

    Not my cuppa but I appreciate your efforts. Little bit restrictive on the air flow though?!

    That looks better Matt, although you maybe restricting air flow to the IC now being that its a small mouth bumper you are running.

    May aswell smooth the fog light screw hole recess as your not having fogs?

    Welcome (back).

    Bumper looks original.

    Have you thought about cutting the slats out?

    It's a bit of a shame you have used a small mouth bumper, but it still looks like you have done a good job.

    The car seems to really like that front bumper pull great and no problems with air flow The IC I have got the the same size as that gap and I think if you zoom in you an just make it out

    Cheers for the comments guys

    I was just thinking the same as all of the above. There's a reason why the GT's have wider mouth's than the lower models.

    Looks like you've done a good job of the bumper itself but you're going to get next to no cooling from it.

    I'm not convinced. Wait until a hot day and you're sat in slow moving traffic.

    looks good! definite improvement

    if the car is running fine and you got no heating problem i wouldn't worry. can always amend it if it does develop a problem
