White V8 with painted bumper like V10

[ktdre]

Hi all, thinking of doing this. Saw the heffner red one that was done like this but if anyone has a pic of a white one with the stock v8 bumper painted with the glossy black please share the pic. Thanks :-)

Just look at a white V10 and that is what it will look like painted.(minus a vane or three).

Talking about the back harrison so that is minus 2 blades ;-). I am asking as the back of the red one looks good but yet is weird in some way also. Thought to see one in white might help :-)

I'm sure Danko will appreciate the marketing. Here is a shot of his white R8 with V8 rear bumper painted to appear as a V10 rear bumper.

Never knew the V10 muffler tips could fit the V8 bumper outlets, nice!

[FiftyPence]

They do fit but the oval shape of the V10 exhaust trims do not 'perfectly' match the V8 exhaust apertures.

Here's another picture courtesy of Danko which shows what I mean.

I prefer the V8 look over (solid color) the black paint on the V10.

The more i look at it, the more i also start preferring the v8 look.

Change for changes' sake...

Not feeling the black painted V8 bumper...maybe it's just too much black? But I find it weird that it looks great on a V10 bumper.
