HOW TO MAKE STOCK BUMPERS LOOK COOL
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 12. 2018
- In this video I experimented a bit to see if I could make my stock audi bumper rival the looks of the cooler aftermarket ones out there. I think it was a huge success and it only cost me $50. If you are looking for a way to have aftermarket style on a budget this is what you are looking for.

I really understand why you have so many subscribers. I believe you inspire people to attack one off projects and make ideas from their imagination reality. I am budgeting to buy full aftermarket body kits, but watching this vid and all the work you did a mr2 really has inspired me to get a decent grasp on fiberglass fabrication and modding oem parts from the pull yard to make a unique kit.
8:30 Nobody will notice but I will notice and it will make me happy! That is a very powerful statement! I like it man.
You should change the top grille to the honeycomb style too
Very cool. Your like a mad scientist with your little midget helper.
Awesome! Love diy stuff like this. It's amazing how much more aggressive it looks, even if the bumper does not actually extend lower than before.
I love how your kid just plays around while you film lol
It's adorable.
Great job, really cool idea. And what a great and adorable little helper! Also a great idea getting him used to wearing his safety gear at a young age!
I'm learning so much about cars on this channel thank you for making such entertaining videos!
You're really inspiring man.
Also the B5 is one of my favorite cars ever. such a timeless design.
"Probably no one will ever notice, but I will notice, and it will make me happy"
That sums up why I do all this car stuff too :)
I LOVE how that bumper turned out. I just got a 2009 Hyundai Sonata & I was thinking of customizing it some in the spring (get my BUILT on), I'll have to save this video for when I do the front bumper. THANKS MAN!
Best thing about this video is you spending time with your boy.. Awesome.
I think my heart melted when the kid started talking
Looks great! Can you post a link to the grill mesh that you used? Thanks!
The mini me was the best part of the video. Good job of spending quality time with your boy, an inspiration to the me generation.
I think i've seen you before
Wait - you're the guy who modded the MR2!
You really are talented!
Nice to See you at work, i really love your Skill
Not an Audi fan but this info was so important to my ideas for a Lexus bumper, never considered cutting apart a junk pulled OEM set to make a personalized kit, really appreciate the vid 🔥🔥🔥
Question the two slots on either side of front bumper what goes there cuz mine on both sides are connected with something and fluid goes in there somewhere somehow.Idk what it is tho?
This channel is just what I need! Just love it!
Make your sons power wheel custom
True, that would be a good set of videos
Hell yeah run a couple batteries in series.
24v conversion ftw
WIDEBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be so cool
Good work. I modded the bumper on what then was a new 1989 Ford Escort here in the UK. Ford didn't offer fog lights so I fitted a combined fog/main beam that was semi recessed in the front nose cone , along with a universal splitter I made the bumper unique. Even now 20 cars on I am altering my new Tiguans bumper and improved that on my TT. Look forward to seeing it painted.
I always wanted to experiment and modify my bumper just to see if I could get different look. might have to do it now!
This is exactly the stuff I did with my kids this is such good parenting it’s unreal. Man I’m super impressed you don’t see this all the way anymore. It’s like there’s no fabricators either. I have a g35 And I bought a Plenum spacer and I was embarrassed because I could literally bomb made that myself
What is it that you look for when ordering the material you used for the grill? What is it called exactly?
Nice improvement on the bumper, I like the direction that you took it! You're gonna have to get up with your son's style, he's killin' it😎
Thumbs up for his little helper, Hes so damn cute
Found your channel today, found this video, super stoked to see how much there is to catch up on, I’ve been bored.
Great channel man, love the content and i love the Audi build!! keep up the good work man! Audi for the win!!
Great job so far. Can't wait to see what you come up with for a lip/splitter.
There vids are just perfect for me as i have the same looking car and i'm building it to be better and nicer so these make me more inspired!
Question so if I want to get a front bumper does it matter what car the bumper is made for? Or can I use any bumper but if it’s not made for the car it might take more work
Wow I’m so impressed. Good job. I am really hoping my project works as well as this.
It looks good, did you think about drilling some holes in the bumper between the front grill and the lower grills?
Where did you get the hexagonal grill material? Did you order online or did you go purchase it somewhere?
you always have the best background music for your sped up montages. makes your vids so much more enjoyable to watch.
Good job 👌🏻 very interesting look with this bumper, definitely need an agressive splitter 😁💪🏻💪🏻
Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself this man is a genius the way he can make something stock look good
How do you plan on plugging the lines to the headlamp washers? Don’t they engage with the windshield washers?
Looks cool, and you're right it needs a something on the bottom, but in my opinion the Datsun on the back ground at the end it's the coolest...
I did a similar project in my younger years. Excellent build but if I may suggest, to have the mesh plastic go around the bumper better without resistance , simply use a heat gun to somehow bend it to shape. Is that Corolla station wagon at the back? That is so cool!
Please keep building I absolutely love this channel!
If you go onto eBay and search B5 A4 L Type Bumper Lip you could buy it for $105 and put it on the front of the car. it would probably look much better with the larger grill modification and help the bumper flow much better with the bodykit as it adds a bit of a flare to the lower portion of the front bumper.
It has a weak chin. Everybody wants a strong jawline.
lol yeah man i JUST got that l type bumper lip today and installed... guess what i'll be doing to the rest of the bumper .... GREAT VIDEO!
heads up... that L type lip is pretty thin, cracked on first exit out my driveway. i can fix it but abs shouldnt crack that easy.
@@organikproduce Reinforce the back side with fiberglass. Maybe even put a thin steel rod in there to reduce flex.
@@shona5512 yep. Just a heads up for those who may be thinking that aftermarket lip would be as sturdy as stock.
Your Director is the real boss little on the short side but definitely not afraid to boss you around 😍
good job man , it came out great
Loving the consistent uploads on the A4
Straight fire bro, keep up and never give up.
cool it looks awesome you give me an idea i vanted to buy an s4 bumper but everibody have it i vanted something else awesome job :D keep it going :D
When is the new flip video ? :)
Taping holes from the front to fill them in? That's actually really clever. Wish I'd thought of that.
Great job, I would recommend using the 3M panel bond and flexible bumper repair epoxy vs JB weld . It works great but it is pricey, $40-50 a tube and you also need the dual tube gun . Makes things so much easier.
Wow your son is a star and the future of built. God bless him keep those vids coming. Gave me some ideas of my on😎🙏👍
I dont know what's better: watching you work your magic on the car, or watching you spend quality time with your boy. He's cute!
So, did that guy really go ride the oor boor door? ;-)
Looks awesome man! Now to replace that upper grill on the Hood to match the lower grills. Keep up the good work, someone will be very lucky to have that car!
I love the fact that you went the custom route and saved some money.
I wish you would A/B the before and after. I love that you are going in this direction!
I know Ive said this before... but man I have to say you're doing a great job with that boy of yours... someday he'll look back at these and love you for this... It takes a good man to stand on his own. It takes a good man to show the love that children need without fearing that others around in view may feel him weak for it. Great work on the car... as always, but the best work youre doing is with your family. Much love and respect from Cincinnati!
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you
add a lower front lip to sort of make the bottom part look sharper on the side...
Cupra R lip is great for that
That looks dope, a splitter for sure will give it that last little touch
the redesign is a massive improvement but now the bottom looks too thin. I think adding a lip on the bottom will make it look alot more complete. Awesome work though!
looks amazing, good job!!!
If you mentioned it and I missed it, my bad, but where do you get the grille mesh material sheet? That's perfect!
all he said was 'off the internet'
@@sewelljonathan03 lol thanks man I'll have to look into this "internet" thing
To me, it looks like it would fit a lip very well with the Silver Contrast of the Body.
For cheap DIY, use Black Garden Trim and Pop-Rivets to create a custom splitter for cheap (Depending on the trimming you get.)
Keep the Leftovers (There usually is a LOT) for new Projects.
LOVE THE DIRECTION OF THE BUILD! Can’t wait to see the final product. I just actually cut my grill out of my bumper to clear my intercooler on my civic. Could you provide the link to the honeycomb abs plastic you got. I was about to use a chicken wire style mesh to cover the hole. But this turned out soo good. Almost factory! Also love how much you incorporate your little boy into the videos. My goal for the new year is to start a build Channel for my civic and my wife’s civic. And get my little boy who just turned three. Involved in it. Haven’t been a follower for too long. But I’m not subscribed to the notification squad and just binge watched all your videos. Keep up the A1 videos.
I remember when my son followed me around asking what's that 😂 great video man 💯
@@BUILTOFFICIAL Few more years and he'll being crawling around inside the engine bay with you.
Where can I buy the plastic grille for the bumper?
Where did you find the abs mesh?!
You earned a subscriber! Good video guy! I really need to see this finished . If it looks good then I will do the same. I love the way it looks so far
Nice job bro .how u call of plastic grill
Where did you buy that hexagon sheet?
Nice job bro! Definitely make a front splitter!
I had a few questions about the giveaway, so do we do our videos after or can we do them now?
I really love your video's and they inspire me
Father-son quality times at its finest 👌👌👌
Looks awsome!
Where did you get that bottom lip from? an other car?
Lol!! Love the little helper!! I've got 2 girls, who definitely don't help me in the garage
Modifying stock bumper to be aggressive is always a step in the right direction! It’s perfect once you put the splitter on.
I'm reading comments.... wait what¿ l've learned to read the comments because that there's where the wisdom grows--so anyway as a novice builder l'm like oh my goodness l just figured out blues glues now l have to make a splitter also 😳
I've got an older Transit Connect van and I do love this little vehicle. One thing that I've noticed about the new model is how much more aggressive the nose looks. The hood is much higher and more square and the lower bumper does look more like this. I love this transformation and I'm really impressed by the difference, but I'm wondering if there's a way to raise the hood in the same way. Get that nose up. I'm thinking that a large air intake vent that's very wide might help with the illusion, but is there anything else that could work for that particular aspect?
I love that corolla in the back round
Looks good, the splitter will be a great touch though
You have a really nice boy! Sure he'll become master mechanic at this pace.
Great video i luv u man
Where did you get that bumper lip
Love the no bumper look!
I watched the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds. That was a quick transformation! 😂😂😂
😅😃😃
That came out nice.
I was very impressed, subscribed for more
