Did a quick sketch of what I was hoping to find.
If it is close I can modify and make it work. just dont want to have to do the whole thing from scratch.

Looks like the opening in the hood of a mini cooper

no offense.. But I think that looks like ****. Maybe if it didn't have that top thing, like the mini cooper. the bottom grille, hole, whatever you want to call it looks okay.... but the top.... thats just a fail.

what happened to the door handle?

mryoshi

Why would I be offended everyone has their own tastes.
Im just not into the stock front very much. The more I look at it it just looks gay to me.
Was trying something a bit different.

mryoshi

yea like I said was a quick sketch so sketched the door handle shaved.

I think it looks ok. Good idea if you have a intake running through there.

You do know that the "bumper" is done through photoshop right...?

yes i do, and whats it got to do with anything?

mryoshi

Yea the idea was to make a ram air intake to run through the top opening.
I'm just spit balling ideas at this point. (obviously photoshop, is why i said its a sketch)

Im willing to do the work to make the front end a one off. i just don't want it looking like every other bumper already out there.

Didn't consciously make it look like a mini. Honestly I was more inspired by Aston Martin, just didn't want it to look like a straight copy either. I love this one, especially the side skirts.

that bumper is called photoshop!!

the point is hes looking for a bumper already made, somewhat similar to what he photoshoped. I dont think whether it was photoshoped was ever a question....................?

My mistake. Thought that he found the picture, and was looking for a company that made the bumper. Did not know that he was the one who photoshopped it and was just looking for one that looked similar to his design.

as for your ideas, some look valid others ook very intensive,,,
The side vent on the fender is practically worthless to modify in this manner unless you build a duct to vent the wheel well,
the front scoop could be valid since it looks like your trying to raise the entire profile of the bumper and hood to accomodate, there is very liittle room for what I think your are trying unless you do so...
the integrated lip spoiler seems alright although I have seen that befor but cannot recall what kit it was,,,

Either way if your serious about building you own bumper a few suggestions from someone doing the same-

accumulate several bumpers to hack up and play with, this will be harder for you since it looks like your base is the MS bumper...

take your time and do it right, no need to spend all that money on spare bumpers just to waste them

build a jig that specs out to be the same dimensions as the oe mounting points and mount the bumper to it, this will help with fitment after your finished making the bumper,,,

Good luck...
