How about modifying one of the custom VW Beetle Porsche style front bumper spoilers from Bodykits.net and adapting it to fit the Kobra ?

y cymro, I dont have the skills to chop holes and make something up, thats why I thought of cutting another bumper up, preferably a fiberglass bodykit style so its easyer.

DSG4ME, That looks ideal for what I need but at $585 its a bit on the expensive side, however thats for the full kit including rear bumper and side skirts so I have just emailed them for a price for just the front bumper.

Does look nice please send pics with inserted. Quite like the use of modern tech with classic curves.

Some say ,Porsche don't change their cars but its the small tweaks that make the difference. Slightly wider,longer lower,lighter that change the whole feel and response as you drive

I dont have the skills to chop holes and make something up,

The round vents in my bumper are the exact same size as the tins of body filler that Chris uses at Tribute. Strange coincidence?

The holes i can cut WCA its the 'making them
look like they should be there' that il struggle with!

After bolting on the pointless wing mirrors onto my mx250 that seem only to be used to pass an mot (as I cant see a thing in them!) Ive started looking for wing mirrors that i cut actually see out off for the kobra. I was hoping for somthing from a 'normal everyday car' that i could possibly retain the electric movement inside. I also want them looking carbon fiber!

Came across these, bit pricey thought...


However, i know DNA do a replica 458 so i wonder if they would just sell me a pair of wing mirrors? I tried years ago to buy 360 door cards off them when i was building my Dynamic Performance 360 replica but they told me to sod off! But now im not building a 'rival' kit then maybe!....

Evening Danny this any good? Geoff .

I'm in the same boat as you regarding mirrors. I've bought one to try off a 2002 Mini which is electric and looks ok. You can also buy chromed caps if that floats your boat. I can't confirm if it uses standard z3 wiring yet.
And they're available in carbon http://www.mstyle.co.uk/acatalog/info_B08JC001.html

Why can't you see anything out of your mirrors?
I have the slightly extended stalk ones, for the Dino I think, and they are fine. The bullet mirrors were hopeless though.

The bullet mirrors just dont adjust enough and i mounted mine so they looked like they were in the right place and now cant adjust them enough to see anything!

Have a wander through this site Danny. More different front bumpers than you can wave a stick at.

I'm loathe to pull Chris send Dan away from SWB work, but why not commission them to cut/mould some holes for you?

thanks fatbloke there is a lot of bumpers on that site to get through!
Y cymro, after visiting the tribute workshop 2 weeks ago, I dernt even ask if they could squeeze it in! they have kobra kit orders coming out of their ears and they have got swb to take the moalds from and theyeve even took kit orders for that!

Badges came today. Im hoping to use the keyring as a badge (cut the keyring part off) but im not sure if i should have the bigger badge on the bonnet or the boot?'

Can you fit the bigger badge to go in the front grille? I have seen a few like that and they look good.

Is that Scottie's blood, having cut them from stainless steel?

i dont think as much blood/sweat & tears has gone into making that badge than that has into scotties build!

it could be blood but im petty sure its the reflection of my wifes clothes! (a good job she had clothes on when she took the pic!)

Looking at the back of this...



I think it looks great, however this is partly because it doenst have a number plate! instead of using a rear diffuser from a new ford fiesta, Im going to use 1 from a pug 407...



A quick look on ebay and this turned up....



Should be delivered by tuesday!

this was the fiesta diffuser inwas going to use...

im also hoping Chris can tell me what this spoiler is off?....



Im hoping to get the same 1 and cut a section out the middle
and bond back together to fit the boot.

Chris?!....

Danny - Here was Chris's answer when someone else asked...

So the rear of your Kobra should look something this:




Here you also have a selection of modern-styled Cobra fronts to give you some inspiration for the front end just in case you still haven´t decided.

Thanks Paul!

DSG4ME, thanks for that photoshop! hopfully it should look like that but without the exhaust. Can you guess where they will be on my kobra?!

As for the front im hoping it will look somthing like the top left pic but I have gone for the normal 7" headlights but with 12 built in LEDs as side lights for a little but of a modern touch!

Also will have the daylight running lights from a mercedes as per the top right pic
