				Front bumper/splitter/spoiler

				Vyv will be getting a bit of a makeover this winter...new motor, elford turbo, and some paint...and I'd like to finally finish the front end.
I picked up a front bumper a while ago, but Karissa really doesn't like it...too much of a bottom lip, and it's a bit square, so I can't fit it.
So, I am after another front bumper, I'm after a little something underneath, as I feel it sweeps away too much, and I'd like more of a lip. Obviously, I would love an elford front bumper, but something similar, or a separate lip with a similar shape would do me fine.
If anyone has anything, or sees anything, for sale, please let me know

				Hi Marc,
I don't have a spoiler for you but I thought I'd be opportunistic and ask if you might want to sell the square front bumper.
I haven't found anywhere selling front spoilers this side of the Atlantic and the freight costs are high to say the least. PM me if you'd consider selling.

				I have one possibility, which is getting a local guy to remodel this one...in which case I'd still need it, but it might be easier to see if he can make something from scratch, or use this one as a mould, which would mean it will become available. I should have an answer from him in a few weeks, I'll let you know mate

				Thanks Mate,  let me know if you go ahead with the mould.
I'm a big fan of the body kit look on these cars when done tastefully. BTW I would happily share mould costs if your guy wants to make a couple of them at once? Would definitely be cheaper than importing.

				I have a possible solution arriving next week...as long as I can persuade Karissa to let me test fit it  
 
If all goes well, the Kuwe front bumper will be up for grabs, in fact, I know it won't be going on, and the fibreglass guy is very busy and bit too expensive, so it is already up for grabs

				Hi Marc,
Sounds like things are progressing nicely on the spoiler front.  Do you have any pics of the one that's up for grabs?

here it is still fitted to the car it came from, you can see the damage where it's been cable tied. I haven't done anything with it, but I've been told it can be fixed with fibreglass, if you know what you're doing

				after a test fit, I can safely say I'm happy with my new front splitter, so the Kuwe bumper is definitely up for grabs...come and get it before it gets in my way...and finds the bin
