Attn: 02NV re:face lifted bumper
Hey man,
nice car I really like what you have done and I hope my car looks half as good as that.
On your site you said the front bumper was retro fitted? This means you reaplced it afterwards eh?
Can you let me know how did that for you and how much?
and how much for the car as well?
thanks in advance

dude, that car already came with the facelift bumper when i bought it from the auctions. i suspect the previous owner had swapped the pre-facelift bumper before he sold it with the new bumper... It will go soon as dannyboyau has agreed to swap his bumper with me (i have a d-cuatro lip spoiler waiting to be fitted atm).
i believe the one fitted on my car now is a genuine mitsubishi item, but you can still buy fibreglass copies of the bumper for about $600 plus freight, fitting & painting.

no, you will need to source the fog lamps & indicators separately (unless you already have the original items)
the reason i chose the d-cuatro lip spoiler is because not many ppl in Oz have it, plus it looks tougher than the OEM facelift bumper... I'll be adding a set of carbon-fibre winglets at the side for that GT300 look (complemented by a carbon-fibre rear GT wing) so we'll see how it looks in the end...

any pics of your car dude??
i think the reason it got defected is because you have lousy coppers in Syd and most of the time the wing is so huge they can block the rear view (which is why it's a defective mod).
with the carbonfibre GT wing that i'm planning to get, it's essentially the same height as the GPvR factory spoiler (maybe just slightly higher a bit by 10-15mm) - just looks waaay cooler.

nope, can't find the D-Cuatro sideskirts myself... I got my front lip spoiler from JustJap in Kirawee NSW ($400) so by end of this week it should be painted & fitted ready to go...
if you really want the skirts, you prob need to order them through Taka Kaira or some shop willing to bring it in for you... Just be prepared to pay for the price!
as for the wing, yeah if it protrudes outside the overall dimension of the original car then it is deemed dangerous and therefore it will be defected. I'm not sure how wide the wing is but hopefully it's not wider than the car's original width. as long it's not too outrageous, the cops should stay off your back...

put it this way, i had a quote on Jetspeed once with my own custom design and because a custom mould had to be built from the ground up, it's gonna cost about $6-7K for the front bar alone... (unless there is an existing design that they can adapt from)
so in this case, it'd be a pretty damn hard effort to find a Fiesta WRC kit in this country to get a mould of it!!
