Hip's V6 Frosty Project

Looking really good mate....better on a frosty than on my black one, my lights look a bit lost but they stand out really well on yours :)

Thanks for all your help dude! I'm running C1 indicator holders. If you remove about 3mm of plastic from the hole for the fitting, the C1 ones just slot straight in.

I keep meaning to come and see you about braces, then forgetting :p

My pleasure mate ;-)
I really cant remember what i did to make the C1 indicator holders fit but i know it wasnt a major problem :)
 
Thoughts please

(It's just sat on top of my current bumper for now to mock it up)

I'm thinking of having the grill sprayed black and a FRS style front splitter blade type arrangement on the front, similar to
Black grill (Cheers Ginja ;) )

Splitter

I'm undecided at the moment...
 
The White car is sporting the C2 Wings West kit. You've more chance of bagging Cheryl Cole than finding a C2 WW Front Lip :LOL:

I wouldn't have that precise splitter it was more a reference for other forums that I'm on as I've just copy pasted the same post on :p
 
You'll need to do some fabrication to fit anythying else because the Wings West one above is the only one designed to fit the C2 bumper.

BTW this is a geniune 'first' - fitting a C2 bumper to a C1.

There's the Razzi ones. It's VERY tasteful. (n)

I don't mind making something up. I've got a spare C2 bumper in crap condition if needs be that I can chop up or mock parts up on. I'd quite like to fit/make a Focus RS style splitter if I go ahead or a Fiesta Mk7 style Aeroblade in the centre section.
 
By the looks of the Razzi one, I'm guessing it's a complete bumber, just retaining the fog lights.
Otherwise it looks like the grill section needs cutting off to fit it. It's darned ugly too! :LOL:

I like your splitter/aeroblade idea though. The only thing is, if it involves cutting the bottom bar below the slats, I doubt the bumper would have much integrity.

Nah, the actual bumper would be left as it is, just added to.

The Mk7 splitter -

If I did that, I'd make it fit between the "blocks" on the corners of the bumper

Focus RS one would be similar to this -

I think I might just do it. If I don't like it I can always sell it on. Try and convert another C1 to a HC2 (The Hip Cougar 2 :p )
 
Morette style lights?

Few options I'm considering, US spec rear lights, painted or buy a spare set and smooth them out, remove the boobs. Might try the latter first, as I don't think it's been done before.
 
Many have tried!! Last person to try was Davidoff I think who just seems to have vanished. He'd modded his car in a very proper classy manner and put a lot of attention into the details. He was working on some boobless rear lights but I don't know if he achieved it.
