Wayne G Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Whilst sanding my rust bucket my mind wanders to what the future holds ...... Does anyone have picture of 240 or 260 without front and or rear bumpers and no other body kit installed? I am thinking of just leaving the bars off and smoothing the lines. I have done a cursory search of this site and web but have not located a good photograph. I have seen plenty of rear shots but not a front shot of a standard but bumperless Z, though plenty of bumperless Z with body kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Look for pictures in threads that involve body work. Many times there will be during assembly pictures that will show a Z without the front bumper installed. IMO, the front needs a bumper of some sort to look right, even if it's part of an air dam. Without something, they just look like they're missing parts. Rear without bumper can be made to look good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobsYourUncle Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 There's probably some photos in my build thread for my old 2+2 (link in my sig)... edit: bottom of page two - only side on for the front though. I agree with Six_Shooter though, without the front bumper it looks like it's missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Might be something in Dales project thread. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,5828.45.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne G Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 thanks guys. I am thinking something like Dale's extended grill and smooth out the transition from the headlight bucket to the front indicator with 240 guards so no indicator on side. Clean.

Scoota G Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Geez it would be flash to build a seperate panel that bolts in the bumper recess but it may start to look a little Transformery if you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
