Smooth Bumper

Postby marshey » Mon Oct 07, 2013 6:22 pm

Ive smoothed the renault badge and washer jets out of my 225 bumper.
Was tempted to smooth out numberplate but wouldnt know where to put it.

Havnt rung the guy yet going lower is not a option at the moment im getting alot of rubbing on rear arches and ive already had to raise it 2" so might consider going air ride or really stiff shocks and springs and getting arches raised.

Looking good mate, always had a thing for X5 wheels! I think a smoother plate recess would look really good, you could have it on the bottom grille, although I'm new to Megane's so couldn't tell you how it would effect airflow..

Didnt fancy blocking grill for intercooler and rad behind it and if i was to put it lower than that it probably get taken off on first speed bump.

Was considering just putting plate in window like most people but not really worth the hassle with police.

Thinking about it i should of smoothed it and just use hidden magnets to attach it then i can remove it for shows and that.

I will probably do that when i next respray it. Bumpers get so many stone chips so wont be long before its looking sore and needs painting.
