My car is in the process of getting a lot of modifications. Wheels, brakes, zorst the works.

My front end was always hitting things as it was so bloody low with the lip and i refused to take it off cause it didnt look as good. Came to the conclusion of a whole new front end. Thanks to John at JVM for the bar. very happy with the quality of the product and the fit to the car. Got the bonnet, front guards, flares and bar painted up in one hit. fantastic finish and great price! Big thanks to Franko at Pymble Smash for a top quality job!

Final fit of the original flares is yet to be done so i have to adjust them a little, and of course the mesh. found some stuff that is almost the same as the grill so will be going with some of that next wknd.

Had to make the flare extension up myself. took a mould off the original ones with fibreglass, rooted around and stuck them on. I'm very happy with them

Real carbon fibre! adds a nice touch and splits the bar up nicely breaking up the red a little

Stand back and admire.

stage 2 will be done late december but most likly early jan. Just wanted to get the car looking its best before the show in 4 weeks

lookin good..the CF reminds me of a clubsport for some reason

Looks sooooooo much better. I would be looking at making an undertray though.

front end looks really good :D
you gonna put some black mesh down the bottom in that big gap or leave it open?
would look better with some mesh

Sorry jase, not a fan of the carbon fibre, even if it is real. The new bar looks great apart from that though :)

Btw I finally put in your old twinpots, with slotted RDA rotors and EBC Greenstuff. Very happy with the result :thumbsup:

what sort of undertray were u thinking? my mate and i had an idea but nothing conclusive as yet

Use some 3-5mm ABS to fill in the gap under the car. You could even make a duct from the main opening to the radiator. If you got really bored you could duct the side openings to cool the brakes.

Looks good Jase. really like the front bar and carbon fibre piece.

Looks really good from those photos!

Got any photos of the whole car with the new front on?

Looks good

I wonder what it would look like if the lower lip part was painted black a la R34 GTR......

looks very nice!

what rims u got planned for it?

looks very nice!

what rims u got planned for it?
rims are already done, sticking with whats on there, sorta part of the build up. wanted something else but couldnt be gaurentteed they would come.

That is sex caronified!
Thought of number plate frame? or wont it fit?

Looks good. wanna see with the mesh.. will look heaps better.. differant but will get used to it.. Nice..:)

Wow!! That is awesome.:thumbsup:

You made your own Carbon fibre insert and flare extension? Top effort!! :bowdown:

He's got 20 inch wheels!!! :bowrofl: :bowrofl: Where do you go from there?

i'll cable tie one in for the show. its been done b4 im sure lol

didnt look soo good when it was flapping in the wind lol

He's got 20 inch wheels!!! :bowrofl: :bowrofl: Where do you go from there?


22's man!!!

in test fitting some on tuesday... the front fit 100%, but not on the rear :( so im not going to get them, but the tyre shop wants to do it for something to do.... if it was fwd it could be modded to fit easy enough maybe...

He's got 20 inch wheels!!! :bowrofl: :bowrofl: Where do you go from there?

nothing to do with the size, but something to go with the new look :D

NICE! Id say thatd b perfect

nothing to do with the size, but something to go with the new look :D

doesnt look to bad actually :D

looks good :D

i love my jvm bar cept its all scrathced n studd from the dam gutters

Looks awesome mate!
What did you do with your ralliart front bar?

nothing to do with the size, but something to go with the new look :D

Well, if he can afford to get another set of huge, good quality rims then do it. :D

Those black rims are the perfect accent for the carbon fibre. :cool:

That looks ****en great. :)

lookin good..the CF reminds me of a clubsport for some reason
Yeah, kinda has a HSV feel to it.

I'm not a fan of CF or just 'whack on a kit' and it looks sick but Jason, that's actually looking alright. John's design works quite well with the lines and looks better in red than most other colours. Nice work.

that looks awesome. what bar did u have b4

that looks awesome. what bar did u have b4

would of been a normal ralliart front bar

that looks awesome. what bar did u have b4

he had a ralliart bar.

looks good. how low of the ground is this now??? do u have a direns front on pic?

That's hot !!!

Nice mate, Johns bar certainly does look nice. I'd definitely put a black mesh though for now, because it looks a little bit messy when you look at it from a low enough angle.

Those two little gaps between the wheel flares and the front bar (near the grille) how u gonna fix those up?

Could someone photoshop a verada grille on that? I reckon it will look really nice on it because I've never seen a red magna with a verada grille before.

All in all, good stuff TZABOY, less happy racer look is definitely nice.

man I like the look of that car


looking good!

hey mate looks sweet!definately needs mesh behind that front bar i rekon,still looks good though,and the carbon fiber idea is brilliant love it,keep up the good work:D

Great work, JVM front with full ralliart kit is the goods imo. Love the extra customization to set it apart from the norm. Appreciate the time and care that musta been involved.

Rims are great already, no need to change em again.

Eager to see how the rest of the project comes along, looks like it will be speed and looks to kill.

looks great. glad to have a happy customer :D Guys we do have stock again though it will be limited and there will be another few month wait.

I'm going to admit right now, this is the first time I've seen a front bar on a Magna that looks absolutely fantastic!

I've never really liked all those other aftermarket stuff thats been round as of late, especially those widebody ones, they just personally don't look right, then again I've never really been of a fan of Japanese automotive styling and I'm more of a homegrown muscle car styling.

Saying that, the BMS stuff looked nice, but there was always something missing to it, and I've also liked John's kit ever since the original 3 years ago, but once again there was something missing to it...

Jase, I think you've hit it on the nail with the carbon insert, what we normally see on the homegrown cars are the grey inserts that help break up the colours. The carbon does the same, and it's good you didn't overuse the amount of carbon. Although it would have been even better if the carbon was able to go all the way to the edge, but I guess its a technical difficulty to achieve that?

As for meshing, make sure you DON'T (and I know you won't) get those tacky meshes from Autobahn etc.

A mesh of similar styling would be real nice:

(Of course without the FPV engraved, and maybe a darker colour scheme to match up the colour of the top grille)

Jase,

That look fantastic - as others have said, JVM with ralliart kit might just be the best combo I've ever seen.

Is there are reason you didn't extend the carbon fibre all the way to the end of the horizontal bar? I think it looks a little strange with the little red bits showing.

-Dan

Awesome work, it looks tidy as. Love it.

If I was gonig to kit my car I would Definatly go the JVM bar. I really like the Simon's BMS kit for the TL/TW but just find there is something missing from the TJ kit, I don't dis-like his TJ kit just find the TL one looks more the piece.

Looking forward to see what else you do.

fully sik uleh

Lookin the goods fa sure!

I like that lil carbon fibre insert.. really does break up the look.. gives it a bit of character!

SuFz :rant:

Man that is bloody beautiful. How high is that bar compared to the other?

That looks sweet, love the carbon fibre bit.

Well Done.

Here i'll just show you my front end :).
Those white spots are clouds lol.

:stoopid:

Like most of the others, I like the Carbon Fibre piece on the front. Looks great.
Gives the bar & front some style.

Where did you source the CF from?

thanks for everyones great feedback! i really do appreciate it.

couple of other things the gap between the original flare and the new one will be reduced once i re install the bar after i do my mesh.

the carbon did go all the way to the edge but the painter brought it in a bit as the carbon weave got a little crap on the edges. after all it is only there for show, not weight reduction and strenght :D

i might make some sort of front defuser but thats a maybe atm. i will however make an airbox on the passanger side and bring the pod right down the front again. this bar provides the best possible air flow so gonna give it a shot!

thanks again guys

Looks really good Jase.

that looks crazy...exactly wat i wanted on my car...

hope u dont mind me stealing ur front bar....... not the idea...the actual front bar

Looks awesome, much better than the ralliart bar in that it suits the overall front end shape of the car more.

Looking very tidy jase. Loving that someone's doing it a little differently. Can't wait to see it at FB

Mmmmmmmmmmm Very nice indeed:thumbsup:

Beautiful! Wanna kiss it!
Guess I'd need to patch-paint my front now, cos it's all chipped...:shock:
Not to mention the busted ass rear bar.

Probably one of the best kits i've seen. good job Jase.

All u have to do now is change the rims with some nice black ones (as sugested by asylum) and
u'll have one of the best looking magnas i know (not that i know many) :D

black rims are a definate no no! there were rims i really wanted but were too hard to source. I'll just stick with whats on there for the time being (might be a long time :D )

looks good mate

Looks better in the red than what it did while the bar was still black

lol i hear ya, no black rims but ...

these wear made for ur car:P

apparently they are very rare rims and they came in on this 2001 suora fresh off the boat, owner in adelaide selling haha..

though they r only 18's and u sydney boys seem to compensate for other shoirt coming with big rims:P hehehe just jokes

considered, but thats as far as i'm gonna go!
I wanted a set of Lenso concept 5's but after using 3 different tyre places trying to chase the wanker at lenso to get a set of these rims i just gave up. couldnt get a definate if they were on the next shipment or not so sticking with the ones i have . . . . for now!
I'm not compensating for anything, but i can't speak for the others on 20's lol
