Rear Bumper Vents DC2

[robbyp]

Ha well instead of buying a set of Golden Eagle rear bumper Vents ive decided to make something to do the same
job, or well try at least

I did a few measurements and tried to find a nice oval shape that looked good and let plenty of air out.
I then made up a template on the computer to try it on the car first to see if im happy enough with it!
Thats as far as ive got so far im afraid, heres a few pics of the template on the bumper.

The bumpers only sitting on there and the same with the template so its not 100% right but you get the idea i guess you can also see the piece's ive cut from the rear bumper pretty well in the last pic. Left the center bit alone as it meets the boot floor pretty flush so didnt see the advantage there. Just need to get material to make the vents out of and go crazy cutting it out and holes in the bumper :mrgreen:

Well got couple of pieces of alloy today so marked them out

I cut them out and then drilled in place to the bumper.

Once I had it located on the bumper I marked the piece of bumper to be cut out and then it was air hacksaw time

And the left over bits

This is how it looks now, just need to paint the metal vent and pop them on

We'll I got everything trimmed and drilled the way I wanted it today, was originally gonna paint them black but friend of mine suggested just clear coating the metal.
So I just gave the metal a rub up with fine emery and lacquered them and popped them on
This is how it looks now

Forgive the light and trim panel still off, waiting to sort out my exhaust before I put rear bumper, trim and light back in
