Bumper running lights

[Fspp369]

Members, some help lease.
I’m trying to design and build a set of running lights to blend together with the front bumper .
So I need something to butcher and try various ideas. For this I need some front bumpers any side any condition ..they’ve got to be tampered with, so condition imaterial.

Does anyone have such things available.? If so how much is it or they? They must be probably beyond resurrection!
Please PM me.
Thanks,Peter.

3D print a prototype design?

[Fspp369]

Not easy without a printer

Quick check, At least three 3D printing services in Coventry, one is Sir William Lyons Rd, gotta be an omen?
And this one would 3D scan yr bumper to make the base model ...

Difficult to amend with a tig ..easy to change shape with a negative shape change,.. but addition not possible.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Ha - i was only thinking of a conceptual plastic model.

My fingers are too big to do models !
I can add or subtract from a metal pattern ...I expect a lot will be required.
Cheers again.

Just make a mould of your current bumpers with expanding foam then make a bumper from the mould with fibreglass or even expanding foam.

Then mark up your DRLs.

Fiberglass is not a suitable medium for the project

Thanks for your suggestion though.

Since it's a s3, why don't you embed some white LEDs into the black plastic overrider finishers? I may even add that to my "product line".

I won't fit them personally though, as I have my "Angel eyes" fitted instead. They aren't immediately obvious during the day, but at twilight and after dusk they absolutely rock.

kind regards
Marek

Marek I agree with you the angel eyes are good but they do get "lost" a little if you're axial to them. But I do like the look.
My plan is to incorporate.!
