I would not mold the beak into the actual bumper, I give the guy credit for doing it, but it's not as good as I thought it would look molded together. I think, it looks 100x times better when it's just painted.

yeah I know, when you posted the build pics a couple months ago, I started on a new piece for the S1s Its about halfway finished, Im actually bulding the duct that routes the air above the bumper bar now,,,
heres the concept image I used from PDXhaks car, the only thing left is to buld traps for the tow hook areas,,,





It was inspired from the S1 MS bumper bar gaurd and this mod of the S2 beak,,,
Actually have the prototype sent to the shop already,,,

Very nice indeed. I'm so desperately waiting for some manufacturers to make similar mods like that (aero kits incl) so I can put them on my SII car. Any SII owner install a body kit? If so, where did u buy it from?

I would pay good money for carbon wrapped badges. Would love to get the piece under the foglights wrapped too, right now they're just painted black and chipping :\

Some cool OE part mods.

Rotr8 love the S1 bumper mod. I was wanting to do the Leg Sport bumper mod but I like this much more. Glad to see you are working on it!
