treblet Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Plastic weld in more bumper plastic.Have fun getting the rear bumper to fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Where would I get that from? I'm not worried about the bumper, if I get stuck my brother has a body shop that specialises in body kits and stuff like that so he would sort it out, he won't paint it untill it's perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Get what from? A plastic welder or more bumper plastic?The plastic comes from another bumper, most people buy a second one and cut it up to use same the profile part.

Spoon Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Fair enough, I've got the standard bumper that was on it so Might cut that up of the fibre glass looks like it will crack, it's got two 4 ounce mats on it and the bumper still twists without cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 You could make it out of solid 24ct gold and people on here will still find a way to slate you, don't worry about it. A lad on here did fit a GTi bumper to his Lupo or Arosa, but I honestly can't remember his name. Saw it in the flesh once and wasnt 100% convinced by it. Crack on anyway, seems like you're enjoying your Lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherReeve Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Fair play with the center exhaust, i would of personally just bought a sport or gti but well done I love the door cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I wish I had the cash but I ony gave 600 notes for it so it was a steal, and in about 6 month it will have a 20v engine so sort of a waste to get a gti. Me too it's my favourite bit untill the outer roof is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Why don't you just fit a sport bumper, or cut a recess in the original and just use something to neaten the edge up that's all the sport bumper is anyway it's just a small little lip aroundthe exhaust cut out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
