hey guys while repairing the rust in my brothers ae71 and thinking of doing the short bumper on the rear, i put the plastic bumper behind my ke55 with ke30 chrome bumpers, i looked again and could see that the widths were the same, so anyway off came the ke30 bumpers and i put them onto the ae71, i think they look pretty cool and with brand new lights on the way, it should look hot

Very hot :( !!

WoW, it actually sits very well. Great job. :(

Will be interesting to see what it looks like when it's complete.

 

It sort of doesn't look right, but maybe it will just take some getting used to, it doesn't look stupid though, which usually means it will grow on you

It looks great, but just needs to sit a little higher to cover the original bumper groove in the bodywork. Also, it'd be cool if you could put in different numberplate lights that sit flush with the top of the bumper so you can't see them from behind. VERY nice work.

Oh, and to finish it off you'll need a chrome bumper for the front, plus the black side strips will need chroming or removing. Then it will look super sweet!

 

I'm thinking about getting into the chroming business myself, so if you're keen, just PM me.

Where are the number plate lights usually located on a 70?? Are they also in the bumper??

i can't remember if its the same for a 70 but yea they in the 71 bumper, don't we all hate rust, should look better once its all clean, lowered with exhaust etc, anyone have any good pics of those twin diagonal pipes, not cannons but straight pipe?

I say install flush mounted numberplate lights and it will look a heap better.

how should i do that??

to be honest i think it looks far from perfect the bumper dosnt folow the stright edge stlying of the car, youd be better off trimming the plactic bumpers.

 

but each to there own

Like ancullen said it needs to be moved up to the original bumper lines then i think it would look sweet as. :(

yea i know it has to be moved up relax its balancing on that little metal strip lol and looks way better than any shortened bumpers ive seen

At least it doesn't stick out as far as a KE70 bumper.

looks quite cool :jamie:
