    Default front bumpers

    as some of you would know i have just turboed my vn. i hooked all the intercooler piing up today and when i put the bumper back on i had to twim is a bit to get it back on.
    what i wanted to know is if anyone knew of another bumper i could put on that is pretty standard looking but not really low. my car is low enough as it is and i scrape my bumper so i don't need one any lower. so post some pics if ya have any
    http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...150#post508150 click on the link to see my front bumper now. you will see i need something that sticks out a little more at the bottom

    What do you want it to cover? Do you want it to fit round the intercooler and piping without having to cut it? Is that what you meant?

    yeah that is what i meant. something that doesn't go in so much like the standard bumper.. i think i will just have to stick with the bumper i have. maybe buy a new one and cut it out so it is all even. i really don't want to have a body kit.. i also don't want to loose any air flow. more would be good

    Well, what you've already done to modify the standard one doesn't look too bad. Honestly I think it looks fine as it is.
