R53 Body Mods
R53 Body Mods
I've been looking Into doing a little body mods to my R53 and I end up searching parts up for the R53 and it either shows horrible kits or kits for newer models. I've always liked the look of the newer mini front bumpers but I don't know if I can swap out parts from those cars and put it on my older model and have it line up close enough to fit. Any help with body mods or anyone who sells peices i will greatly appreciate. Thanks.
I've looked a little myself. Mostly out of curiosity, not to actually use them on my car.
I bought a bunch of mechanical parts from a guy parting out an R53. It had some wild parts on it, including fiberglass front and rear bumper covers and a glass hood. A look I'd never seen. I spent a coupla days looking for for those or similar parts, with no luck.
They're out their somewhere.

If by newer models you mean 2nd gen, then this might be what you're looking for: https://orranje.co.uk/product/orranj...mper-r56-style
They also have vented A panels, replica GP side skirts, and probably the best replica GP wing available.

...and you're right about the G-wing,
it's an awesome bit of kit.
Orranje are trueblue goodguys.
Another option,
the Garbino kits are still available I think?
A thread here about them:

Lots of interesting stuff floating around out there:
