ideas for turnsignals after bumper removal

[meangreenspider]

ebay is my friend, 2 sections of black mesh grill.

I put mine on the front grill. They are signal lights from a 90's Mazda 626.

i did this to my car. the only "true" way to really complete a bumperless setup.

ClarkTheShark, where did you get those signals? Looks like they follow the grill perfectly. And for the grill material meangreenspider used, check your local home repair shop. You can buy sheets of this for cheap and paint to match any color.

they DO follow the curve perfectly because it came on the earlier model fiats! they lights are hard to find nowadays though. i welded up my old holes, and cut out the new holes for my new lights. perfect. also had fun making my own "chin" spoiler.

I wanted my signals to work until I made my front split bumper so I found that I could wedge them into the the bumper holes by placing the stud of the rear lamp over the metal core support behind the grille. They fit in there snug and ave not came out. Its a cheap fix until you do something better!

Thanks for the pix. Have heard of a few early model wrecked spiders in my area. Guess I need to get out with my car and see if I can make some offers if they are in any work getting....

I had the bumperettes added after a new paint job was dome while the car was in hibernation....I had turnsignals from a 124 sport coupe put in the rectangular (actually more like a parallelagram) outer holes. Minor enlargement was done to the holes which was done by bending the metal back so there was something to which to hook a bracket. It worked pretty well and almost looks factory!

If your looking for cool grill material, try Mcmaster Carr, they have all types of Expanded, Perforated, and Wire Mesh.
In all different sizes and shapes of holes as well as material in stainless and carbon steel and some types of aluminium.
Check'em out on line.

I used these on my car, 40 bucks each.... You will have to put a resistor on the turn signal though...

I think I figured out how to show pics for the turnsignal on my 1980 after we put bumperettes on it. John
