[Mk2] [Turbo] A girl needs help !!!!!! Need a new front end

[Spittinflames]

bomex would look ace on there! you should be ok with humps so long as you are careful! i have a veilside bumper on mine ,lots lower than border + its 1 1/2" off the floor and i manage to get over humps! but im also lookin for a border bumper tho as the veilside is too long and low, im fedup with having going over every slight hump in the road at 1/2 a mph!!

only thing is tho with the border, your gona have the same prob as me... Where the hell to get one from!! (a decent one that is!)

Veilside is not any lower than the border bumper at all. There the same height in fact the veilside bumper goes up in the middle so gives some clearance.

As you can see in this picture how low your front is has got nowt to do with the front bumper.

Although height might not be that different, its the fact the VS protrudes a fair bit further than the border that gives less clearance over bumps, since the pivot point is effectively at the wheel centre... if that makes sense!

Agreed

They do stick out further so on a steep up bank (like a multi story car park ramp) the veilside would hit first even though its not actually lower.

in the 2nd pic, the black mr2 looks like its been lowered quite a bit more. look at the roofs....

Sorry, but IMO border wouldn't suit yours, you'd need beefier side skirts and rear bumper to pull it off.

Border would look stupid as the skirts arent low enough.
Harrys idea about the　TOMS front was good also splitters would look ok as the Autopista cover.
