front spoiler thing

Post by slobbo »

What do you reckon? Painted the "Bad Boy" spoiler I bought at Vanfest the same colour as the body and thought it looked crap so I redid it in black. The black also allowed me to fit it with a couple of screws which makes it much easier to remove the grill.

it's a bit extreme capping the badge me thinks personally, black is right though can you just put it back to body coloured so we can see,

but hey I have a black badge so what do I know

Yes it has been off road but only light stuff. An oil cooler was fitted in a vulnerable place behind the bash plate. I have to make up some protection for it an get the difflocks working. I've got what I need now forthe rear locker but haven't had time to do it.

Aye right Rob,

Parking your bus in your driveway doesn't qualify as taking it OFF ROAD..................

Spoiler looks good in spite of the overlap of the badge..............

You could always jack up the hight of the suspension so as your badge is more at eye level and not covered by the spoiler.......

Must say, i dont mind/quite like the normal size ones (just straight across) what i don't like is the "boy racer, bad ass, angry van looking ones. They just dont look right at all.
