nice one bud , as i thought carnt see point in fitting some easy poll bars might as well coner them like the corners on the caddy ,, added to a bit of tasty shape i reckon ,,if nothing else

[chas71]

Any thoughts on front bumper? Maybe a thiner version of the rears?

yes ive 2 ideas either do the same idea but pop the indicators in , and fit the intercooler inbetween them or fit a long one and curve the corners same and hope that thin rad will cool the engine and try keep the intercoler behind the grill ,, as its extra tight for room as i carnt get a rad fan in ,at mo ,,,nevermind how im going to fit the boost pipes ,,lol time will tell ,always somert else to either weld/fit/or modify lol
me and my silly ideas ,,, ps forgot to add the quick brackets and inner welding of the bumpers

Eco - 1 Mile Per Gallon?

Thristy - 5 Gallons Per Mile?



Would be great to see it road legal

Those Rear bumpers look great, Its like watching a master carpenter at work - the way you fabricate metal into shape only its metal not wood lol.

Great work

See you've got a towbar - what are you gonna tow with this beast?

i get that many either shouting or beeping ,,one of the resons i never get anything done ,,,lol ,,i saw some one in a white caddy wave ,was that you ,,sure it was a deisal ,,

not had a good after , as i thought might as well make 2 front bumper ,i ended up i hated them so ripped them off , a waste of day today ,, these were the pics


idea as i was going to fit a intercooler in there ,,as ive hardy any room in the engine bay

i hate em ,so thought id weld it into a bumper and dint like that either lol


still hated that too ,so ripped it off and thew it in the crap bin ,,till ive more time to make something a little differnert waste of time really ,

[Ric]

I reckon the bumper with the intercooler in would have looked sweet when painted up!!!

[powernut]

small update
rear wheel spacers arrived

thought id fitt hem



then added the pair and looks loads better but unsure if ok ,as i reckon it should be because the rear is light and the tyres have a great dish inside and out side so should put extra load on the wheel bearings ,,,any thoughts
