...Love it or hate it...23k got Lumma tuned...

**Pagz** · 08-16-2005, 10:15 PM

well,....after very little thought,the only option for a new front bumper to house the IC was Lumma's "slightly ugly but will have to do bumper"
.....so far iv sold off most my organs in payment for the cost to get it from germany to NewZealand....
.....$1281 for the bumper(inc frieght)....$300 for customs and tax etc....$275 for painting...plus hours of wasted time dealing with customs.

But...it does look quit alright in the flesh,the bumper is well made and uses all the factory fixing locations,it fits perfect,the only modification was alittle grinding around the IC pipes...

let me know what you all think!

excuse the crap pics,will post more when its painted.

looks nice!!!!!
the front mount IC makes the difference.......good choice!

**jaysonvaldez** · 08-16-2005, 10:36 PM

that would be my choice of bumper if I had to house a bigger intercooler. It looks good. Very evil looking with the intercooler

**misterblack** · 08-16-2005, 10:53 PM

I agree......very nice! The front IC along with wheels and ride height make the front bumper blend much better.

Never thought that front bumper could look good......I was very wrong!!! I would do the same for a front mount IC.

Whole car looks good! those front shots look amazing! It's all about the wheels though...they can make or break that look.....and your choice of wheel is perfect!

man u got one sick w202 going on

**crazy00c230k** · 08-17-2005, 12:13 AM

wow, the IC really does make all the difference, looks great!

**c280nz** · 08-17-2005, 12:49 AM

Thats bad man.
1800$ from germany is steep tho :-/ bloody customs are hard to work with ah, u should a said it was a gift from an uncle :-)
But very bad non the less!!!

Sorry a bit off topic, just wondering what part of Auckland (or NZ) you guys are from, I am central Auckland...

**sig425** · 08-17-2005, 04:44 AM

bumper looks pretty good. It really features the IC. Some grill work in the two side vents would smooth out the lines a bit and make it look more complete imo.

No hating here. I've seen in other other cars in the net, but it didn't look quite right with out the IC. But this looks perfect reallly aggressive looking.

It's not painted yet is it?
That is alot of money for the front bumper

2 thumbs up

**Denlasoul** · 08-17-2005, 08:31 AM

Yeah, same fgoes for me. When I first saw the bumper, not too impressive. Definitely needed something more up front. I think that the IC looks perfect sitting there.

**714guy** · 08-17-2005, 09:16 AM

look really nice, But the get the AG grill and some mesh to cover the side openings of the bumper and you it will look SICK.

**trymonlam** · 08-17-2005, 09:34 AM

i never liked lumma... until now. with that IC it does make quite a difference. it's got a very practical, mean racing look. enjoy yout new ride, buddy. u will get a lot of heads turned.

**Pagz** · 08-17-2005, 01:48 PM

thankyou for all for the thumbs up,I didnt like the look of it either on the lumma site without the IC...,so was very unsure about purchasing,but seems to have worked out alot better than i imagened...

It's not painted yet is it?

Its just in being painted at the moment.

1800$ from germany is steep tho :-/ bloody customs are hard to work with ah, u should a said it was a gift from an uncle :-)

I tried but lumma tuning wouldnt play ball....well,it is illegal

look really nice, But the get the AG grill and some mesh to cover the side openings of the bumper and you it will look SICK.

the bumper came with a black mesh,it should look alright i hope!...
hey whats the AG grill?

**trymonlam** · 08-17-2005, 04:29 PM

gotta say, the picture with the hood up looks better than it's down. i have no idea what that would indicate, but it just seemed that way... guys, any thoughts?

**Ashkan's C280** · 08-17-2005, 05:15 PM

sorry to say but still not a fan... granted it looks much better with the ic, and it fits your application perfectly, but still not a preference of mine, just doesn't seem right...

**Pagz** · 08-17-2005, 05:24 PM

fare enough

,
it is very hard to please everybody,but i will promise not to paint it blue and half cover my lights with the bonnet

**SLAMMED_C** · 08-17-2005, 05:27 PM

DAMN buddy.. that looks tight.. I like lots.
hmmm.. now I may need to get one!! he he he
and it would work out perfect too.. I need a winter bumper.. so I could use my stock one for winter.. and then get the Lumma for summer!! Hhmmmmmmmmmmmm
is the Lumma bumper any larger in dimensions.. is it taller (bottom of lumma bumper closer to ground compared to stock bumper)?
keep up the sick work man..

**Pagz** · 08-17-2005, 05:49 PM

Yo slammed,thanks man!,
you should definatly get it!,i think it would look great in black!...
it sits about 50mm lower than the factory bumper and slightly wider,i thought it would hit when i drive out the garage,but its fine.

im heading up north to see the olds this weekend and i have to cross on the car ferry,i had trouble getting on with factory springs last time lol!!...i should have made a mould to replace it on monday heheeh...hope the tides right.
laters...

OMG!!.. 50mm.. thats 3"!!! I think my front bumper would be dragging on the ground if I had the Lumma!!
I'll have to measure to see it it will be on the ground or not!
but it looks really mean man.
when ya gettin it back from paint?
I just sent out my headlight eyebrows to get painted yesterday.. hope to have them by the end of the week or early next week.
damn!.. at least ya dont scrape going into the garage!.. and good luck with the ferry ride!! I think youre gonna need it!

What is the Lumma bumper made of?.. ABS or Fiberglass...

**Pagz** · 08-17-2005, 06:45 PM

lol 2" man

,
I will take some exact measurements and send'em to you to compare.
koo ill check your page when the eye lids are on!
the bumper is made of fibre glass,its VERY well made,theres 10 alloy brakets including the two side sliding ones attached to the bumper,the gel coat was spotless with a glass like finish,alot better than most of the kits sold here.

**SpEeDy230** · 08-17-2005, 10:18 PM

Looks pretty damn good to me!!!!

**aruba** · 08-17-2005, 10:58 PM
