Coltspeed front bars

Post by Glen GSR III »

thiking about grabbing one cause my JA bar and JD airdam are shagged. Anyone give me an idea on quality?

Are they a rigid fibreglass type or one of those bendy thingys? :D

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was pretty happy with mine except for the part that sits under the center grill thingy. It wasn't moulded very well and kind of sags down :roll:

Apart from that the bars are good :beer

You will also have to leave out the metal frame that normally sits behind the bar :pimp

I believe that the fibremaster lower lip is infact the complete spoiler that looks similar to the coltspeed one.
