CSL Bumpers

[Markos]

Made up of 3 parts, feather lite.
Ally bumper legs, instead of the iron oem.

Very cool. Now you have a unique product that people may be interested in.

 

[aguirola]

Thank you. Next will come the painting of the two bumpers.
Once that is done, will post.
Then potentially someone will be interested.

I do like the front bumper. It adds a little dignity to the front.
Is there any way to chrome GRP?

 

[aguirola]

I agree, the front bumper gives a good balance to the spoiler.
Chroming? Probably, but black is my aim. If anywhere, the UK you will find chrome applications
potentially a nice silver paint might do the trick.

PS, as an afterthought, all that rubber on the bumpers, did subdue the chrome look

Do you think you could make this front bumper - I would be in the market. Thin, one piece and carries the swept back lines from the centre of the car.

Very nice work!

Anything can be made, we would have to assemble a wooden form, then pull a mould
It would be expensive... not to mention the shipping as it would only be one piece.
The finish, you would apply it?

By what little details I can see, the rear is also streamlined...

I also notice that the front air-dam, wraps around all the way up to the crease below the headlights
closing up the air intakes below the grilles.

By the signage (abundant) it might belong to Griot's Garage.

Griots is a franchise paint shop. I would not need the vents blocking up as I have an oil cooler fixed below the radiator.

Very nice. Well done to see it through.

 

[aguirola]

Thank you!
Best part, besides looking super, is the weight removed from the ends

Have posted in the 'For Sale' section, no prices yet or a definite feasibility,
as this is based on demand, as in quantity.
Will have them sometimes next week.

Nice job on the bumpers, if anyone needs the blanks to fill in license plate light holes, I have them in aluminum

FS: polished Bumper Blanks - March Madness

UPDATED 5/31/2021 THIS INFO IS STILL CORRECT If you have a CS from 1973 on, the chrome bumper came with two oblong blanks to cover the openings where the bumper-mounted Hella license plate lights would mount in the european car. The coupes imported to USA have the lights on either side of the...

Hi Alberto, the bumpers look great! Good work. I have a requirement for 2 rear sets for my 2 CSL's.

I have some questions;

1 can i have a clear picture of the rear where the halves join together. I need to use the standard chrome joining piece. will it fit without work?

2 of course the cost of a rear bumper and a price to send to the UK?

4 are the fixings the same as the steel bumper?

thanks

We could do a group buy for the UK E9 owners , save on shipping costs
I would be interested in buying 4 complete rear bumpers with the fixtures and centre piece that joins the bumpers together
