    Touring car front bumper

    I've been chatting to a few people on Facebook and I'm more than likely going to be making some replica Touring car front bumpers for the 850's, is anyone interested?

    Yeah I'll be making a more 'road friendly' version, obviously the original version is way to low for everyday use.

    Ok, after a slight delay I'll be getting on with this tomorrow. Had a slight delay as a friend thought he could get hold of an original one to clone, sadly this isn't now happening so I'll be starting on the build up tomorrow. On the plus side I have a friend on Facebook who actually has an original Brand New never used touring car bumper, he's taken some measurements off it for me and provided a few pictures as well.

    Ok, sorry for the lengthy wait but personal problems at home have kinda set me back a little. Will be starting on these this week. I hope to have a prototype ready in a week or two at the most, how soon would those that have paid a deposit be in a position to purchase?
