Had some time on my hands waiting for an upload to complete... so...

A good 10 years ago I did a mockup for the 360 bumper. My good friend Joey made one by hand for his 16v, and 'orders came in' as they say. It was later copied by various manufacturers.

So how about a 430?

No thanks! I don't like it! Loved the 360 though, had it on my previous coop.



Coopless!

lines are too aggressive for the front of the coupe in my opinion

i don`t think the `under bumper` styling works with the `above bumper` ie coupe styling........too sharp,coupe basically rounded and almost `podgy` with slashes,430 angular,taut and aggresive

All these modern sports cars have gone for very angular styling, especially the likes of the Lambo's. I'm not sure it suits the curves of the Coupe, especially the curved edges of the Coupe's bonnet.
I think that's why the Zender kit looks just right on the front, it matches the curves nicely.

458 bumper looks really good, the lines look better for the coupe.

The center part should be taken out. smile In fact the way it is in the picture is completely wrong as it would 'lean forward', while the lower lip is actually in front (or at least same position) as the part at the top. Could've done a better job, but if Mariusz would be producing something, I think I could make a few more raelistic mockups / variants. What's also fun is the fact that it doesn't have too many lines / nooks / crannies, so easier to fabricate.

I think without something in the centre to support the lower lip, you're going to run into problems with breakage.

You could put a central support in there but have it set back slightly and painted black, with some mesh set in front of this it would be invisible to the eye but work structurally.
