Convert NA nose to GXP
« on: May 23, 2011, 03:45:11 PM »
Converting NA front bumper to GXP

GXP parts needed (not correct name but it'll help you get there) to convert NA nose.  Fog lights and side markers are interchangable.  

Doing this all from memory

1: GXP bumper (obviously)
2: All GXP honeycomb inserts (five - left fox, right fog, both center kidney, lower air scoop)
3. Air inlet scoop (direct air to the intercooler but also supports the protective plastic base)
4. Plastic base
5. Steel support rods (these protect the intercooler, and support the protective plastic base)
6. Left brake air duct inlet (for behind the honeycomb and you will have to cut a hole on the wheel liner)
7. Right brake air duct inlet (for behind the honeycomb and you will have to cut a hole on the wheel liner)
8. four 10mm bolts with small washers under the head (for steel support rods attach point to metal bumper and air scoop to base attachment)
9. two 10mm bolts with large washers (steel support rods to base attachment)
10.  GXP crush foam (for behind the bumper)

Extra christmas tree plugs
