    V12 TDI style front bumper / GT style rear bumper / a new spoiler option

    Going on my Fav car news site Supercars.net, i was looking at the tokyo car show

    all i can say is wow

    this company called Hamana (not hamann.....and i couldnt find anything about them on a quick google search) made a body kit that is a V12 TDI front bumper and grill (Alot of people have been searching for this type of grill) and a huge wing spoiler. Side skirts are nothing to rave about though....and the rear could possibly be OEM GT bumper (but i doubt if they custom Fabricated the front and sills that they would OEM the rear)

    i am interested in the front bumper.......
    if anyone has heard of them or wants to research I am sure the forum would appreciate it.

    Love the spoiler and the front grills. Agree about the sideskirts much prefer the standard V10 ones. I guess this has been fitted to a V8 from the sideblades? Does look to be a GT rear kit. Europrice any news on these parts :P

    Re: V12 TDI style front bumper / GT style rear bumper / a new spoiler option

    on further investigation i have come to the conclusion that it is not a OEM R8 GT rear bumper.

    if you look a the line of the rear diffuser, it carries across the rear to the wheel well horizontally, where the R8GT swoops downwards almost right below the tailpipes

    also along where the diffuser meets the bumper, you can see a ridge all along the rear bumper, so i would have to say this cant be a r8GT bumper that has been modified to fit a custom diffusor.

    As the R8 GT bumper covers are CFRP these would be fiendishly hard to modify, so I suspect they have been replicated in fibreglass or real CF. Have to say I like the rear (great job on the fences on the diffuser), hate the skirts, very aftermarket look, not sure about the front, where the bumper meets the bonnet looks like a terrible fit?

    Not sure why they bother to turn up at shows with their body kit's and products as I have tried to contact them via email for the past 12 months.

    There "coming soon" Online shop has been the same for the past 12 months as well.

    I suspect if you had a problem of any sort with delivery or manufacturing fault you would only hear silence.

    Shame..as some bits look good.
