Neil, there is more chance of someone running into the back of you mate so you better get a spare rear bumper as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 i originally thought that but, the rear bumper is a standard bumper just with the nismo spats so easy enough to get a hold of but as far as im aware the front v1 bumper has been discontinued along with the lmgt4 wheels so thats why im worried about damaging the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If you are seriously thinking about swopping out your front Nismo bumper for track fun then just stick on any old /any colour OEM polyeurethane bumper as they take a lot of punishment. If you end up in the gravel with your car as low as it is at the moment with a fibreglass front bumper then it will more than likely get damaged beyond repair. If you are going to be driving round the circuit with worries about what you may or may not damage then it will be no fun so therefore there is no point in you even being there. All your energy and concentration must be totally directed at driving the car safely and quickly and there is no place for "other" thoughts or concerns. So are you coming out to pose or to play?

Neilp Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 i was looking for a pebumper like stews as it looks the same and is very flexible compared the fibre glass... im coming out to play but like to look good aswell lol hoping the car will have everything done by march that im planning on doing. Bet your boots im coming out to play, thankfully i have my own personal instructor ie you in all honesty i just dont wanna end up with massive bills for a bumper which could be reduced by fitting a pe bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
