    Looking for some inspiration!

    I recently converted to plastic bumper on my 87 vert but I'm thinking I would rather have more chrome in its appearance. Thus I'm curious if any of you have pics of a vert with euro bumpers. Also, what are my front valance and rear apron options? I want the spare tire to be hidden. I'll be going with the factory color of navy and keeping the chrome strips on the side and not shadowing the upper trim. I was originally going to go matte black and paint all the trim but I felt like I needed to have some coke dealer vibe to it! I kept the metal valance from the older db bumper in case I ever needed it. Thanks guys! I hope I put this in the right forum :)

    Check out user 'constructor'. He has the cleanest alpine euro vert I've ever seen. There's also another one with a rollbar and an S52 in it, but that guy isn't on the forums.

      It looks as if his rear is a one piece apron like the plastic bumper model, but his was originally a db bumper car? Will I need the euro front valance as well?

        The guy with the rollbar and s52 is on this forum. He has alot of post in the 24 DOHC section.

                I only asked as the front tag said S50 and you said S52 :up: Is that a euro front valance or US version? Also, what rear apron is that?

                      I agree totally but hitting the track I think it would be a necessity, which I think he does with that car.

                        Is the lip the only difference from the roll cage one? My eyes have crossed from looking at tons of pics lol

                          I also meant S50, sorry. Remembered wrong, and did not know that guy was on the forum.

                          Yes, those are all euro valences. If I remember correctly, there is someone else here with a US vert that has euro bumpers. He had his US front valence modified to look like a euro valence.

                          The rear valence on constructor's vert is stock. Your db car's rear valence will look the same as his if you put a euro bumper on it. You'll just need to shave some brackets and fill some holes.


                          Yes, the difference between the one Jelko posted and the bronzit one is mostly just the lip and the roll bar.















                          and what appears to be a V12 :U

                            Something about the spokes on these wheels catches my eye. What brand are they? Got any closer shots of them?
