Hi everyone,

Sometime ago I purchased some Honeycomb style decals for my rear bumper from Phil at Minipirate, at the time asked if he did any to fit the front aero bumper around the fog lights. Unfortunately they were only being considered at that time as would need a car with aero bumper to test fit

However last week I decided to phone Phil to see if it would be possible for him to make me some, fortunately he agreed to make up a set as a test run (THANKS PHIL!!!). They arrived with me on Saturday they looked fantastic just what I wanted

But because they were first set made they required some modification to fit, so I had to make up a template so I could see where I would need to trim them so they would fit. There are still some bits that need modifying and I am liasing with Phil at the moment to get them production ready. I have sent him the templates so he can see where the adjustments are needed.
Here are some pics

Phil Craddock · Nov 15th, 2007, 11:48 AM

looks almost there Ian, thanks for posting the pics.

I await your templates back then we can get these up and running.

They will be available in a range of colors and styles to

Thats ok Phil, yeah nearly there!!

I think these could be very popular, much better than the BMW inlays

A couple of my mates are thinking of getting them when they're available, they make the bumper look really different I think.

Cheers

Looking good phil, It adds something. Is there anything that can be done with that manky piece of honeycombe plastic across the middle of the car? apart from bodging a bit of mesh

Phil Craddock · Nov 27th, 2007, 11:59 AM

I think Si at Essentialmini does lower grille stuff.

Phil Craddock · Dec 15th, 2007, 07:49 AM

Gavin1980 · Mar 17th, 2008, 04:45 PM

This looks really good on a black car but Im unsure what it will look like against red etc. By this I mean the inside lip of the spotlight as I am guess this wouldnt be covered?

Phil Craddock · Mar 17th, 2008, 08:58 PM

Hi Gavin - we are still putting the finishing touches to them and they will be available sometime in April.
