Does Anyone Make Fog Light Surrounds For MCS Bumper?

Just checking to see if anyone out there knows if there are any companies out there that have made the plastic, or any other material for that matter, surrounds for the fog lights. On the Non-JCW version bumper? I know that there are vinyl companies out there making this now, but I was looking for more than just a "sticker-version". Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Basically Like this:



But obviously just surrounds for fogs, not vents, if that's what these are.... I'm just guessing that's what they are by the looks of this monster-mini, that I found on here (NAM) somewhere, can't remember exactly where. So whomever owns this car, please no offense for me using it as an example.. Honestly, it just looks amazing, so many props!!!

UPDATE SINCE POSTING THIS:

So putttn has informed me of these from MOSS, and it looks like I could mod those to work-out the way I'm envisioning... (maybe?)

http://ecommerce.mossmotors.com/p/ne...-kits/101-004M

Thanks again putttn! But if anyone knows any other versions of these being made, let me know..

Those are brake ducts on that mini. I've only seen vinyl surrounds.

Thanks For All The Info So Far.......

Yeah 59FIFTY, that's what I was guessing. Just seeing if anyone knew of anything being manufactured already before I go ahead and attempt this. Basically looking for something subtle, but IMO I think that this style bumper just needs this "little" addition. But thanks again for all the help so far. You guys ROCK!! Basically just like the aero grill version, but even smaller than those.

They have some on OutMotoring.com. I got the vinyl fog surrounds from Vinyl Styles and love them.

You might check with "BlueToy" about his Hyper Blue Cabrio...he had the chrome version and I believe he painted his a light grey and it looks similar to the GP application. I believe he used the ones from Moss/Outmotoring. He no longer has the Cabrio but there are a number of threads with pictures of his Cabrio.

Thanks everyone, Basically looking like I'll be getting the plastic ones and blackin them out, but again thanks everyone for your help.. Unless of course, someone finds other styles out there.... I'm not looking for anything crazy at all, so these will probably do IMO. Still looking though, just to make sure..

I've actually took you up on this, and searched through past posts and what not, but can't seem to find anything. But I will continue to look, because this is sounding like what I'm trying to do... Thanks again though for the info!!!!

But I have however found the awesome brake ducts that are being made for the stock MCS bumper, (thanks again 59FIFTY) that I could mod to still have fogs, if I go that route now. So in the end, I'm not completely sure what I'm going to be doing here, just didn't think that vinyl would be an option for me.. But thanks again everyone..

I had the vinyl ones from Voltage (similar to Vinyl Styles).

http://www.voltageproductsonline.com/bumperdecals.html

For $15 you couldn't beat the price. I had them for about 2 years and they held up well. Then I saw what "Blue Toy" did and bought the chome ones from Moss. I then Plastidipped them black. They really add some character to the front - more so than the vinyl did.

Thanks for that link!!

Yeah the chrome ones plastidipped should look pretty well, but I'm thinking I'm going to be going with a little more custom modded ones from the actual brake duct vents that are being sold around online. Well maybe?? Haven't really looked into the cost of getting the actual "parts" yet. So again, thanks everyone. Much appreciated as always..

Are you looking for something for an R53 or R56? The R53 already has the hole and surround in the standard bumper cover.

Its my R53, and yes I know it does have what your referring to. I'm just looking to add a little "style" to that area, basically like the first picture I posted at the top. Of the coop with the brake duct vents. If that makes sense. Plus, I might be replacing the stock little fogs down there with something else, so basically looking for a part that I can begin to mod with. No biggie really. I think I got this figured out in my head... hahaha.... Originally posted this, trying to see if there were any companies out there making things of this nature, kinda like they do for the aero bumper. That way I could then use those parts to fab up what I'll need, without fabricating the whole entire pieces...
