Thats looking like top quality work there Ade. With regards to fitting the new skin onto the new bonnet, wouldn't it be easier to remove the supporting framework from a bonnet, then extend it to support the extension and fibreglass it in to the new skin?
stunning mate, that bonnet looks top work! looks stunning indeed!
Amazing work mate thats guna looks sumink else when finished!! well done.

may have a point - will need to look at the spare bonnet inner section. I think its welded to the edges then held in place with that glue stuff.Quote:

Yeah I believe the skin is spot welded on around the edges. The main reason behind suggesting it is that if you were taking a mould of the entire bonnet, so that you had an entire skin to bond to the white one, the skin of the white one would prevent you from bonding it on, if you get what I mean like (due to the raised centre section being in exactly the same place).Quote:

Didnt do anything on the car as such but placed an order for some PU foam board to make my grill and bumper.
Basically I'll cut rib sections from the baord and stick each section together to form the basic shape, carve it to give some basic detail, seal it with resin and glass tissue and skim with a fine body filler (called bodylite no7). Then i simple sand to the right shape. Once thats done I paint it in primer and smooth it so its really smooth and after about 10 coats of mirror glaze its ready for molding.
That's the idea anyway - will apply for the rear bumpoer and side skirts too - may even apply to my custom dash - but thats a fair bit away yet...
so - heres some "very rough" images of 2 possible bumper styles -
1st - the "Nova" one - based on the drawings from page 7

and the 2nd - based on the focus sti

I'm torn...
Cant really do a combination on both because the angles of the lower section are opposite.
What do you think - and feel free to post you own designs.
I like the STI 1
