Have you thought about fitting a 3dr front bumper also? I think that would really pull the front end off

when i first saw that picture above i was waiting to see if someone would attempt it as i think it looks cool, be nice to see it with a 3 door bumper on as well or even rs500 style with the extra dip in the middle

Nice project

Good to see some bold choices being made rather than the usual boring Ford Scene approach
