Big Mouth Help!
 

I have now decided to keep the saxo and get it looking better than ever. My next door neighbour has offered to give me a free vtr front bumper. So i thought its an ideal chance to have a go at making a big mouth out of the bottom slats. IM just wondering if anyone else has done this themselves? and if so what materials did you use to cover the holes where the slats were?

Any pictures or notes would be appreciated and repped :y:

ive seen bumpers with a pro-comp big mouth in place, whether you can still get these i do not know but they look cool, i'll have a look for some pics

this guy had one

ah ive seen that one i just meant cutting out the slats though like on yates and baz's

ah right i see, sorry mate :y:
i wouldn't know how to do it for definate but im guessing you could just back the holes off by sticking a bit of plastic or tape underneath them and them fill them up with some bodywork filler, sand it down and paint

hessle done it, and im sure he doesnt mind me sayin it was awful lol nah it wasnt too bad, but he had it flush, it would be very hard to do it like mine and baz' yourself fibre glass and filler everywhere

so best off payin for someone to do it?

that would be my old car



i've done it myself. its not hard. cut the slats out then use fibreglass to bridge the gaps. once you have the shape you want, skim it with body filler to fill any little holes and jobs a goodun. there is quite a bit of sanding involved, especially if you dont have any experience with fibreglass.

you may want to use mesh to help you span the gaps on the larger holes or the fibreglass will just fall through. you can buy everthing you need at halfords.

what would be an average cost for the materials?

the car in that link looks ace : o

probly around £20 plus paint. you could do it cheaper if you could get smaller quantities of fibreglass and filler as you dont need much at all.



thanks, it doesnt look anything like that these days though. :( its now my sisters car
