frontend

[General Baxter]

right heres a hard one

which is lighter

mk1 frontend with GTE bumper
or
mk2 with Gsi bumper

:lol:

[m.d.]

the difference is probably within 1kg

[Adam]

I would go with Mk2.
Although i seriously doubt it will alter the performance of the car :roll: :lol:

you'd be able to lose more weight by taking a big dump before getting in the car

[hendrix]

couldnt you lose weight with doing something with the holding iron??

Lol! :lol:

I should imagine the mk2 is better for aerodynamics! Not that Novas are exactly round, The weight would be around the same.

[Stuart]

take the carridge bar away totaly and just make up a brace to hold the front of the bumper in place.

[Jack]

Ditch the bumper full stop :wink:

Or, build a fibreglass one if you NEED a bumper (MOT? etc)

[Philsutton]

bet you had to have a change of clothes after that one

[Mike.]

i was thinking off getting rid of the bumper iron, you'd loose some weight then

[addgsi]

or you could do what some idiot did with my old 5turbo and make the front end out of wood wtf??????? :lol:

[NovaloadedAgain]

Lmao! Wood! I too had a renault 5 turbo was lethal with the original fibreglass panels! If you hit anything harder then polystyrene ud had it!

[addgsi]
