Need Your Help!

[Lil Miss 32]

Hey guys, for my Extension Studies class I am studying on fibreglassing!!

All I need is some research of fibreglass front bars.. So I thought I'd have a research of the ones in Adelaide. If your nice enough post up a photo of your front bar if its made out of fibreglass!!!

Thanks!!

ala my front bar

to Daniel for the pic

Here is my brand spanking new GTR style front bar. It was white, so I sprayed it with some cheap matte black spray can paint for now and trial fitted it. Indicators are not fitted. Bonnet lip and eyelids are not yet painted or fitted either. But you get the idea.

looks good Andrew

Thanks for the pics guys so far, they are excellent!!! Nice looking fibreglass front bars haha

here are a few pics, one shows how the glass bar broke, the second is my modified 400r bar (no indicators)

Andrew the new bar looks great, but you are going to have give the intercooler a pollish LOL

wow Andrew, that really changes the appearance of your car.....any probz with uneven gaps around headlights?

Guy, looks like you took a bend in the hills too fast mate.

thanks guys.

Yeah Guy I will have to polish the intercooler - am probably going to paint the top of the intercooler and mounting brackets black, and the top of the oil cooler as well. Might find some R34 style black mesh and put it back there too.

Pete - yeah the fit is not perfect, but I just quickly trial fitted the bar the this stage, so will massage it a bit more and make it fit better when I take it off to paint it. Hopefully I have a vented real carbon fibre bonnet and boot to come shortly that will complete the look (speaking to a source in China as we speak). Then I have to decide whether to respray the car Obsidian Black again, or go Midnight Purple (which was my original intent). Unfortunately Midnight Purple 3 (the harlequin colour that came on R34GTRs) costs $1k a litre and I would need just under 3 litres to paint the car, so it would double my repainting cost - so might go with Midnight Purple 1 of R33GTR fame.

Andrew, that looks shit hot buddy!

[chops]

Don't polish the cooler, paint it and the oil cooler black.

Get a slim line plate for the front too if you can, I reckon that would complete it a little more nicely.
