Custom stuff for C5's...
Discussion
Hi, I've been a C5 owner for a good while now (I'm onto my second, and I had a C3 prior to that), but I'm getting a little bored of the way the car looks.
I realise this will probably make me unpopular here, but I'd like to "rice up" my vette a little. Not in a "fast and furious" style, but more to make the front end of the car look a little more European ("Ricing up" being used in the context of unnecessary modifications).
Based on this, can anyone recommend any shops which would be able to build me a custom front bumper and a custom hood from ABS or Carbon Fibre?
Any help much appreciated!

Yeah, I saw those - they're still american looking though (I realise that to make a C5 look non american is kinda difficult!).
What I'm after is a custom plastic fabricator in the UK - I want a bumper which is, perhaps, slightly shorter (making the nose stubbier) with bigger vents in a Porsche 996 Turbo stylee. I'm of the opinion that this would look very cool indeed on a custom vette.
Anyone have any ideas?

Did you want people to talk to you afterwards as well?
Hmmm... peculiar attitude. My drive is the fact that I ain't over keen on the C6, and it's not going to be mechanically that different to the C5, so if I can add a little more "modern" styling to my C5, problem solved!
I don't want to create anything like "Veilside" or something! Also remember that individuality is the reason most of us buy these cars!

I also agree with you on the C6. For me, it's a backward step. May look better in reality but too much not to like. That's what decided me to get a Z06.
Yeah, I agree - the fact that it is narrower and higher doesn't help the situation either. 400bhp isn't difficult to achieve in a regular C5, so chucking the money you would spend on a C6 at the C5, you'd have a
1) Faster
2) Better Looking
3) More Unique
So I suppose you can probably guess which direction I decided to go in...
