No i havent yet jeff but from the conclusion to myself is this. Its very cost effective. Thats the main thing it helps with. Convenience is another thing in the case of another shunt its either going to be a few things like
Overfender
A bar or 2
Maybe bend back the light surround if needed
A light/ lights
Bumper
Boot
And even that would be in a worse case scenario!

So rather than having to pull out stretched and bent metal why not make it a hell of a lot easier for yourself. ive yet to test and see if the car really light on the back and what traction is like, then again i haven't really ever had good traction with the pikey alignment i have
I see alot of people doing it lately and if you can get overs that wrap completely around the arch, why not go and chop the hole back end off to fuck and make your own setup. It seems a no brainer to me anyway and im raging i didn't do it in the first place

Yeah i get the whole if you give her a tip thing im just worried itd end up too light and drive queer Yano? And also id have to buy the fuel cell from grip fab cause the tank is under the boot floor in a 180 But considering so many are doing it it cant be that bad its just ive heard of a few people regretting it but i duno i suppose just man up and do it :P just stop bitching about and go take her for a spin there tonight will you

Threw everything back on today for final mock up.
Drilled all the holes and used self tapping dome head black screws for using on the overfenders. Credit to Dori88 for telling me that trick as pop rivets hold them in too tight and more likely to crack them.
I put on my filler cap, it needed a bit of modding to fit but it fits nicely in there now on the overfender. I might leave it shut all the time and re-route the filler neck underneath the boot lid as trying to keep it shut and locked and still being able to open is proving a bit of a pain.
Oh and i had to throw on the numberplate, it just looks so out of place to me without it and with the kouki spoiler i think it adds a bit more mean-ness to the arse of the car. Now to try and get that going on in the front.

I have snow tyres there for skid tyres, very tempted to throw them on and do some winter dori

Heres a few pics of the bumper bar bolted off a few people were interested to see what its like. Mine is 4 bolts on the chassis and 2 bolts on the intercooler

This is coming on really well man, fair play to ya for chopping off the rear end too ha.. Have been thinking about doing it to my yoke but can't commit to it yet ha... love the kouki spoiler! Suits the car well, looking forward to seeing what else you do!

im getting some serious inspiration for mine atm. if you dont mind me askin how much did it cost to get the bumper bar built? pm if ya want

[decobyrne106]

Yey feedback
Thanks johnraff it wasn't easy. I surely didn't like taking away the fact the car looked like a road car on track in my eyes and i didn't want to go overfenders but anyway shit happens and now it needs must!

Keep that feedback coming lads! since i got a good phone i don't mind taking pics anymore and progress is ongoing with the car still. Pics to come the weekend hopefully!
