Right guys,after a chat with Tim we have decided to gauge the interest in making some BTCC front bumpers for the 850.These will be made from a genuine BTCC front bumper, If you are interested can you let us know if you want the full front one or just the lower portion to add onto you existing bumper. Price will be aproximately £400 for the full bumper or £200 for the lower portion, a deposit will be required from anyone who wants one to cover the cost of materials and my time.

Well thats it guys, we've had almost no response at all so it looks like we wont be bothering with these. Appologies to you Flying banana but with only one order its just not worth the expense and time to make the mould.

I would like to register interest in a lower one after all, my angel says no you cant afford it but the devil tells me I need one! If they got made I really think I would have one.
Would the lower one be an add on to the T5 bumper like the original? The original touring cars appear to me to be a standard bumper with the lower part rivetted on.

The Lower part should be fitable to the standard bumper, if this goes ahead that is....

I was but my clutch is showing serious signs of giving up on me and I am waiting for my money tree to sprout new shoots before I could buy the bumper LOL (damn clutch!)

that looks similar to whats on my volvo,
mine bolts to the underside of the bumper,
it has splitters on the side,
i dont think they split much on a ton & half of pig iron tho,
mine was about £80.00,
colour coded it myself,

Its a shame if he's gone that route, could have made himself some cash and helped out some other members if he'd allowed it to be copied first.
