Askari Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I do like those pictures you've mocked up. Need to get the curves and lights all lined up to make it work, but I like the look. Wouldn't do it myself, but I like the look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think Andy , there is actually an aftermarket bumper out there all ready that mimics a gen 7 bumper have you looked at it though???? it just doesnt work. And people say Im nuts :blink: thats because you are well looks like no one has a pic of a 7 and 5 next to each other? what about a pic of a 7 and a pic of a 5 at the same angle/distance? i know there are people out there that take shots at the shows and replicate the shot almost with every car. come on help me out here. thanks for the comments so far though. keep 'em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 quick mock up in cad to check what the sizes work out like and it looks close enough for me to start playing with the idea. now just to find the right bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spectre Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I can see this going very well or very wrong. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Might want to check a side on shot, It looks like there might not be enough depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 gen 5 has wings that come right to the front of the car. unlike the 7 that half the wheel arch is bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm really interested to see this one through. Will be a great project bud. cheers buddy, well cars off the road so i think i will give it a shot and see what happens. if it all goes wrong then i will just have to carry on looking for the bumper i had before.

splinter Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 To be honest I never though your old bumper flowed well with the lines of the car. Where as you basic mock ups look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 yeah no what you mean. but in terms of getting air in the front end it was bloody good. never really got over about 2/5th (about 10% less than normal) on the temp gauge made a very cool engine bay. and that i think we can all like.

cooperman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 another very rough mock but gives a better mock of sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulie Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 As much as I think it will look terrible I think you should do it anyway just to see if you can. This is coming from somebody that is thinking of trying to make a set of R32 Skyline rear lights fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I had a lot of hater when I proposed the idea of gen 1 TA22 vents on a gen 7, so I did it anyway. In my head I knew what I wanted but it's hard to describe. And in the end... Turned out pretty sweet. Go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
