Never been a big fan of the Kouki front bumpers, but this makes me want one.
Neither am I which is why I've butchered mine
Suits some car's just not mine, in standard guise anyway.
Is it the carbon effect abs plastic you've used or actually prepreg carbon?
I've bought some one sided real carbon on a fibeglass backing but what you've used looks really good.
It's real, 3M backed, carbon sheet by Richbrook. I considered some stiff carbon sheet but didn't fancy remaking them, again. Certainly looks better than scratched up, dull ABS.
Ah I see. So what have you stuck the carbon to?
3mm ABS plastic. Same stuff the bumper's made out of, more or less.
I've just found the richbrook stuff. I think it could work out a little cheaper than the route I took! Looks good!
The plastic was easy to work with but still took a long time to make up two identical pairs. I stumbled across the Richbrook stuff and thought that'll do to finish them off.
Had a blinding day at Rockingham yesterday. So good in fact I decided to buy the pics, which I don't usually bother to do. So, here's few of my faves.
Car went like stink and was showered with positive comments all day which was nice.
It was my first time out on the Dunlops and the new BC suspension. I'm pleased to say that both performed amazingly well. After dropping the pressures and hardening the dampers she was flying around without doing anything particularly naughty. I still think the car's rolling around a bit too much but then I'm only running moderately uprated ARB's. Time for an upgrade in the form of some adjustable Whiteline's me thinks
Only real issue was the diff breather spewed out some oil which was a little concerning as it's never done it before!?! Will drain it at some point and see if anything other than oil comes out. Rockingham's very twisty and tough on motors so maybe my LSD just doesn't like Rockingham or maybe I shouldn't have removed the cooler?
Looks so aggressive and purposeful out on track! I can only imagine how well this goes/handles now with the the 265s up front and new suspension setup and aero! Was flying up at the weekender last year, must be even better now!
Looks good out there. Have you fitted roll centre correction ball joints?
Thank you. It certainly feels like it's handling better now. The only two cars I couldn't quite keep up with were on slicks. One was a Porsche GT car and the other a Radical. The decision to go 265 all round was a good one. I can now brake so late and deep without locking up, which was one of the issues I had with stretched 235's last year.
Cheers. And yes I have.

Hey,
car looks the tits. Id like to have that aggressiv track attack theme on mine. but due to german laws u cant run something like that on the streets.
Anyway, where did u get your bumper vents? next to the license plate.
Id like to get some like yours.
Ha, thanks. They're N1 R33 vents purchased from EP Racing. They even do them in carbon fibre if you fancy being flash.
The car looks mean as hell in that last pic, it's such a nice car mate.
Thank you. It's changed quite a bit over the last 6 months or so but just keeps getting better and better. I'm never selling this car
Looks solid mate. Love your motor and really hope to be able to join you on track at some point this year. Going to be a while before I get up to speed though
