  • Glow_Mouse's Custom Aspire Bumpers

    Well Semi-Custom....And i havent quite got the front one to fit properly on the car yet...



    Trial fit of the EVO6 Semi Custom Front Bumper. I had this bar fabricated for the Aspire. However because of the curvature of the front the bar became a little lopsided. I've got to recut the Mounting points at the top and sides.



    This here is the BC model Honda Civic rear Bumper. Easy as pie to mod to suit the aspire. Bolts on perfectly! Needs a respray...Botchy paint job...

    So there's a few options there for the aspire in the way of bod kits!

        Looks mighty wide there. Seems like the sides stick out by quite a bit. Do you have another photo?

          Looking good, definitely not a fan of over the top body kits, but bringing in parts from other cars, I'm all over that! I love seeing stuff built for one car going onto another car, even though the majority of my personal modding takes place under the hood I can certainly appreciate what other folks are able to do with int/ext stuff! Now if we can just get you and festymick to bring your cars stateside for one of our meets, so I can see some wicked Aspires in person. Lol
          No festiva for me ATM...

            I came into this thread to say exactly this almost verbatim. Props to htchbck... and a giant +1 across the board.

                Other photos...I went away for 4months and came back and found them left like this...out in the weather damaged, weatherd out...frayed...



                Juuust peachey..




                See? just thrown behind the shed like EVERYTHING else...2grand's worth of fibreglass...Thanks ALOT!



                Yea see how the outside reaches out? The stock bar' MUST be aligned correctly before making a mold. Otherwise you'll get a VERY WIDE bar that wont fit correctly.

                The civic BC bar on the spire without primed or paint. Early stage pic.



                Got others comin.

                  Other pics as requested.



                  rear bar is from a honda civic. BC model. Avr cost: 900 for modification



                  Front one.



                  Another one.

                  The bar is an E6 Evo bar. Derived from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series. 1400 bucks worth.

                  and for those who haven't seen my Aspire. It's Australian based.

                    I really like the look of that Civic rear end, moreso than the front, but your car is still looking good! Fill the large front end gaps with an intercooler or a dozen fog lights and I'll be suitably impressed!

                    You're definitely showing what all can be done with Aspires. We need more of that.

                        Haha... Well i've got my FMIC sitting in the shed.. my foggies are at home and I've got some amber lens' to go into the bottom. just gotta get the bars resanded and resprayed. The front one needs some cutting and fixing.

                        Other than that. It'll look fantastic one way or another!

                          I hate body kits.. But at least you're fitting it properly. Trying to explain to someone that they don't come as bolt on pieces is like rocket science to 1st graders.

                            yea. Lucky for me. My kit was custom made to suit my spire. I spent some coin on making it fit and even now the front one still needs modding to make it fit...
