Im bored got my 2 weeks off, car in body shop, and imstuck in doors so trying to compaire the viper and the Twinz side by side, i like 'em both but think Twinz is slightly better, bit more suttle and more stylish, as i dont think its ever going to get here im wondering what can be done to the viper to make it similer or slightly more suttle?

 

 

 

hmm the opening needs to be smaller on the viper i think, side vents will need some work to straightning up of the top outside edges? What you all think can be done?

I like the bottom one better matey.

not sure which is which but the orange one is best - i do like that style tho, looks like it could eat you!

orange 1 is the viper white one the Twinz bumper from peru

im undecided on these!

 

really like both then see the 99spec and think it looks a lot more classy, def not as aggressive but suits the car better.

 

then someone puts a pic up of the twinz thing and i get all confused again!! lol

Oh yes.... now your talking. :D

yes the 99 spec bumper is nice but its not really an after market bumper is it

saw yours on sunday.

 

that paint job is something else when you see it in the flesh, especially with the rain and the sun making it sparkle!

I like the Twinz one best, the Viper seems too big a mouth

my thoughts to but as it dont look like its ever gonna get here been toying with the idea of changing the viper slightly to resemble the twins bumper, first job would to be close the mouth a bit

saw yours on sunday.

Thanks mate.

Yes, but the 99spec is a perfect fit and it’s not fibre glass so it’s not easy to crack or break.Still looks good.

Totally agreed. Reminds me of a basking shark. Not that keen on it actually. The TwinZ one has a much smaller cutout and there's some detailing on the corner bits.

 

Unfortunately, with both bumpers, unless you have the mother of all intercoolers, the minunte the sun hits them, they'll look terrible. Rammed full of mesh, visable chassis rails and pipework etc.

I like the twinz bumper except for the intakes, i dont like the way they protrude. Lukes has better lines for the car imho but the intakes on luke are a bit on the BIG side.

i prefer the viper, but thats just me

I've got two windscreen vipers. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Velly phuni :slap:

For me, the opening on the Viper bumper is too big. The upper edge needs to be brought down. The TwinZ bumper is nice but I'm not so keen on the protruding sides. Strangely, I'm currently making one from scratch (first mould has been taken) as a side project that could be interesting if it all turns out ok :)

i thought about making my own bumper but where the hell do you start, how the hell do you make the mould?

At the beginning....and carefully :D

I've now sorted out the first copy so it now fits perfectly. Now I need to start cutting out and forming the apertures for the fog lights/air ducts (they'll be able to be used for either the way I'm planning it)

i prefer mine tbh :D

i think with a little alteration the whole bumper looks a little more suttle

 

I think Twinz is the best by far :nana2:

The blue one does look excellent.

The viper bumper has a smaller opening now.
