Carina stage 3!!

black or colour coded front bumper?

What do you lot think?

Push the car out of the garage and take a photo so we can get a better look!

I reckon make it body colour for that type of bumper...

Take a good photo and someone should be able to whip up a quick photoshop of both of the options...

I reckon the front grill and lights will look better with the black contrasting against orange above and below, rather than black underneath.

Here's my piss poor attempt at a photochop

thayt would envolve pushing the car again... burgh ok ill get a decent pic of it so some of you more savvy guys can shop me a couple of versions.

looking at that one Dave almost confirms my suspicions of colour coding being the better option

I think shiny black would look better on the car as a whole.. If you're worried about contrast for your front you could take the ae86 twotone approach and paint only the top part in body color.
Color coded bumpers make it look to new-ish IMO.

Tough call!

The black actually looks pretty sweet there I reckon!

Maybe better than colour matched.

Need a 3/4 front/side kind of view of the car to how it looks a bit better I reckon

In my opinion this bumper doesn't fit the car's design at all.
the original one is the best...

i thinck it too

Personally I think it depends per car... I love the AE92 bumper on this one:


With the round headlights I'd say flat black and with my single front lights probably the original bumper...

[toyotaloyal]

im trying to seal up the front and make a semi decent front to aid with cooling and some downforce- to this a splitter will be added once the bumper is fitted properly
Im a cheap bastard hence going the ae92 front bumper styles instead of a full on scratch built one.
