BUILDING A CUSTOM BUMPER, The Epic Roadster-SUV Fusion

In this episode, I’m cutting the original Toyota MR2 Roadster / Spyder front bumper and one from and SUV to merge them into a one-off custom design!
The perfect alternative for an expensive body kit that doesn't exist.
This is Episode 3 of my supercar build.
What you’ll see in this video:
The tools and techniques for cutting and merging the two bumpers
My strategy for aligning two completely different parts into one custom piece
The challenges (and solutions!) when creating custom car mods
Want to see the full transformation? Stick around till the end to see if this one-off bumper lives up to my vision!

Here at 168 subscribers, this channel will blow up! Great work!

[@ChaFairchild]

You are about to get popular man. This is exactly what people want to see.

[@ranidusoysaa]

Im guessing a Nissan Juke bumper?

[@joaquinsoto4909]

2016ish

[@zacfergusson]

i was thinking the same thing

[@jessebilla]

100% correct! Surprised he gave you no love for that.

[@Saiko-x8e]

The headlights give it

[@CamilSofrag]

You are correct, the facelift version

[@CamilSofrag]

It's taken a massive effort to get to this stage, and seeing people appreciate it and wanting to see more couldn't make me happier. Even though each video has its own pace, they all come together in the bigger picture, so be sure to check out the other videos in the series!

[@TCreatorO]

100% nissan juke bumper lol, the weird ugly headlight openings gave it away, good thing you got rid of the ugly half and kept the nicer 1 😎👍🏼

[@CamilSofrag]

Haha, I can't wait to have the car finished and outside, I really think I made the right choice with the Juke

[@ionutzmarius2687]

What you did is magic!! The ugly Juke brings a great look on your project car!! The blend is really nice!! ❤

[@CamilSofrag]

The Juke is not ugly, is just like Marmite, hate it or love it :)

[@TimotoRacing]

I really like projects like this so I stay tuned and looking forward to see the rear

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, I'm glad you liked it, I hope you've seen the episode with the rear :)

[@RM_redblack]

Absolutely brilliant! Never thought something like this would be possible. Can hardly wait to see what comes next.

[@everythingvinyl]

This is crazy dude good work, just subbed

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel, just wait and see what is coming, it's really going to be crazy :)

[@unairamos74]

I´ll keep my eyes peeled for the next episodes, it's all looking great so far, it's different but in my opinion it looks better than the original (bland) bumper. Subscribed!!

[@CamilSofrag]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it, next one is coming soon.

[@PaulHigham-p5q]

I stumbled across your channel this morning... What a great project. I have thoroughly enjoyed going through your small back catalogue. Keep up with your great content. I have just subscribed.

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel. Thank you, the catalogue will get bigger :)

[@bitza2408]

Looks great man, waiting for the next one!

[@WyattKB]

never watched you before, but this is my type of stuff. so it looks like i'm here to stay

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, I'm glad that you liked the video, it's going to get better

[@saminzarif]

you gave a better life to that juke bumper

[@CamilSofrag]

I am going to take this as, because the bumper was damaged, otherwise it would have ended up being recycled :)))

[@ricardocasillas8375]

Keep up the good work!!!! Love this video!!

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed it

[@waldyss19950318]

Love it, great design and taste!

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome :)

[@closery]

I can't wait for the next episode :)

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel, soon :)

[@Slowpoke-racing]

Great video, keep up the good work 👍

[@CamilSofrag]

When I met you, I must admit that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything, but you gave me hope, thank you for your support, it really helped me :)

[@Slowpoke-racing]

@CamilSofrag told you that this was a great idea and that you would do well, keep up the great work and I always look forward to the new content. 😊

[@gacattack1234]

Love the idea of blending different cars together to make something special. No need to build from scratch when there are all these wonderful cheap parts out there. Indicators line up with fog lights beautifully. More chance to fit an LED there.

[@CamilSofrag]

Exactly, there are so many options, you just need to choose something that fits into your vision.

[@J.P.__]

This is incredible! Great job. To me, it looks like Nissan Juke.

[@CamilSofrag]

Nissan Juke indeed, the FL version

[@FCAutos]

Great video!

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you, I'm glad that you've liked it.

[@alexsimion3481]

That toffe wheel is amazing, I was looking for an easy way to remove that stuff for ages.

[@growlith6969]

Thats super cool, you earned a subscription.

[@AfterBasicsYT]

finally a video i watched without skiping ...

[@DennisLovesBikes]

keep the work going , i am exited

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel :)

[@red4hed]

Great video, very informative and the end result fits the line of the car nicely. But @ 12:10 just use WD-40 - spray it, let some time to soak in and wipe off. You might have to rub or scrub a little. Works great with all kinds of stickers and residues.

[@CamilSofrag]

Great tip. I chose to remove it mechanically because, I intend to paint the car and don't want to use anything that is greasy that could give me a headache later on. I am glad that you've enjoyed this, it will get better :)

[@-look-at-this-84]

Very cool!

[@CamilSofrag]

Cool indeed :)

[@rocatalin88]

Underrated channel! To the sky, crazy guy!

[@CamilSofrag]

Danke

[@TheIronHeadRat]

Great job 👍

[@CamilSofrag]

Thanks 👍

[@alman-world]

Amazing work - and I must have found you as doing the same (sort) of bumper project myself. And yes I have found my new part bumper by..............looking at cars. I have also built my own headlights for a total of...................$540, instead of the $3500 for after market ones. Took a lot of thinking..................but got there.

[@CamilSofrag]

Usually it takes a lot of head scratching but I think it's always worth it. Welcome to the channel

[@imremarloes]

Awesome🫶🏽 cant wait 😃

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel

[@AutoRevLife]

I'm working on a similar project for my car. It's a 1998 Lexus ES300 (aka Toyota Windom). I bought a spare bumper from a junkyard and a donor bumper from a 2005 Acura TSX (aka Honda Accord). I was thinking of leaving some plastic from the bumper and using panel bond for my project to ensure a stronger bond between the two bumpers

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, there are several ways that you can get away with it. This is just how I've done it this time.

[@CarlosV1.2]

Cool, I did the same thing for a custom rear bumper with a valance. I hope you are using Upol 7061 and not regular body filler!!

[@CamilSofrag]

I should have waited a few days for delivery and I was running out of time, I've used fiberglass, but now I can't reverse time..

[@CarlosV1.2]

@CamilSofrag I too used fiberglass behind the bumper after using mesh to plastic weld that in, but in front for imperfections I used upol 7061, great stuff! Along with upol filler primer.

[@CamilSofrag]

@@CarlosV1.2 You are totally right but I was running out of time... did I took the right decision, most probably not, but there is no turning back now. Next time I'll have to plan better and make sure that I have the right stuff before I begin

[@-Kerman-]

Insane job

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you, enjoy the rest of the videos

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

This is crazy work just watched the rear bumper build very clean work and great eye for detail

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, you have a few more episode to be up to date, but from now on things are getting really interesting Enjoy :)

[@fillusrahim-xy9ib]

Brilliant

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you, enjoy the rest of the series

[@TiagoMorbusSa]

Very nice!

[@CamilSofrag]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

[@anthony.lajoie]

Im the 666th sub 😈, all jokes aside Love the project you're making ❤

[@CamilSofrag]

:))) I've missed Halloween only for a few days. Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far, it will only get better.

[@haventcenathing]

Cant wait for the next video great job

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome :)

[@BesimTepihi]

Upload more ❤

[@CamilSofrag]

I'm working on it :)

[@TheMiglos10]

I put an Audi A4 bumper lower part to my VW Transporters bumper …

[@CamilSofrag]

how did it turned out, loads of attention ?

[@TheMiglos10]

@ well

[@saekabura]

Great video, you better post the progress on this and not leave it halfway. This series could be your breakthrough

[@CamilSofrag]

Don't worry, I am no quitter. I've been told to film myself for many years now... But I am here now and dedicated 100% to YT. So hold tight because this build will only going to get better and more interesting.

[@saekabura]

@CamilSofrag now that's what I'm talking about. I'm praying for your success. Good luck my friend!!!

[@leerobertlascano7917]

Suits a nice front lip

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, I chose this bumper because of the lack of a lip that would act as a plough if I get off the road. I hope you will enjoy the build.

[@h0udinl]

Your drawings are awesome make sure you keep them all they’re art pieces

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you, I am not very good at drawing, I could use some practice and get better, but it really helps me to make an idea on how it's going to look like, and if I get excited about the project on paper, then it's going to be way better in reality.

[@10xguluva]

Subbed 👍🏽

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel

[@player00024]

Dude if you find a way to flatten the headlights a bit to match the body line of the car.... the transformation would be insane

[@CamilSofrag]

I will do something with the headlights as well, I don't know if it's going to please you but you can leave a comment what you think about them when I'll get there :)

[@lashazarandia4426]

AMAZING!!

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@a.d.7042]

the bumper is out of a Nissan Juke!!?

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, yes it is the FL one

[@OneStarVFX]

gonna try this with a ‘17 accord bumper and my 08’ tl-s

[@CamilSofrag]

I think if you do it right you'll have a great looking Accord, I drove an 08 for a while and I was really impressed. Good luck with your project and if you feel stuck you can always reach out :)

[@StraightLineCycles]

Wood screws aren't self tappers😊

[@CamilSofrag]

I'll have a look at the box what they're for :)) . Next time I'll just say screws instead :)

[@carbongecko]

i wanted to do this to a Honda del sol

[@CamilSofrag]

go for it :)

[@MrJhorseman]

Obviously a juke

[@CamilSofrag]

There's no other car like it :))

[@MrDesmondyaw]

the bumpers is from Nissan juke

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it

[@wojtech270]

wooooow nice work! i just can't stand theese blocked mesh things in the bumper next to fog lights. Maybe you could think about cutting out the blocked parts?

[@CamilSofrag]

Later edit: Welcome, I was thinking about that, and one side is open in the bumper. I will cut out the blocked parts as I have a better idea, you can leave a comment when I'll get there :)

[@rchobbyandlife]

Так бампер не сращивают. Отвалится при вибрациях. Таким методом можно сделать только мастер модель для дальнейшего изготовления из стеклопластика.

[@naenx]

First!

[@williampalmer8052]

Classic hot rodding. No need to spend a fortune on aftermarket stuff, just go to the junkyard, find something that looks cool, and make it work.

[@Tigermoto]

Whats next? VW 1.8 Turbo swap?

[@CamilSofrag]

Pfff, I'm self funded at this point, so I need to keep thing under control for this project. But I had a word with a local breeding farm and they are cooking some fresh poneys for this project :)

[@MrBLUEDEVILUK]

I thought Nissan Juke from the 3 rounded holes?

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, the Juke it is

[@pikapika9350]

Nissan juke

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it

[@CooperSTraveller]

Mk1 Nissan Juke bumper?

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel, yes, the fecelift version

[@mcheddadi]

sub number 853!

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome and thank you.

[@bofat6978]

Nissan juke?

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome to the channel, correct answer, you've just won 1 Like

[@kenrossaukrsa]

One of , once off

[@EP_172]

Please dont Cut the Metal pieces off. Please Bend it Till it brake

[@sbr1160]

100% juke front bumper

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it

[@Deehydrate]

Dont use Spacers if you can get away with it. They are dangerous and your tire wear will be terrible

[@CamilSofrag]

I would not call them dangerous since they are used in motorsport often, but I want to keep the wheels tucked in as mush as possible. In the mean time I've realized that I can install longer log bolts and install the thinnest spacer that clears the caliper carrier, which is a 5mm

[@anismirawi]

Nissan juke bumper

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it

[@Willetin]

Used the worlds ugliest car's bumper to make something amazing (nissan juke bumper)

[@CamilSofrag]

Welcome, thank you, I'm glad you like it. As soon as it got on my radar, I said yes, this will be perfect for me, and now as the project has progressed I think I definitely made the right choice

[@why78yu]

I'm trying to help you since English is not your first language. Don't you mean to say one-OF-a-kind or one OF one, NOT one-OFF target? Just pointing out that extra F so you can correct your thumbnail before it's too late!

[@CamilSofrag]

Thank you for the heads up, the thumbnail was intended as a play on words, so I've checked and according to google : one-off "something done, made, or happening only once. ". I wanted to say one-off (and the picture would continue ) bumper

[@typedrew]

Really unfortunate you chose such an ass ugly bumper to replace the great looking factory one. Cool project otherwise

[@CamilSofrag]

I am curious when you will see this finished, if I managed to change your opinion and maybe you can leave me a comment then with your thoughts. The main reason why I chose this one is because from the side view you can clearly see that the lower end tapers up, and I was looking for something like that because of the cross country theme. If I would have used a bumper that has a lower end, acting as a plough... I need to think about practicality Regardless, thank you and I hope you will enjoy what comes next.

[@aadd3538]

Juke

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it

[@billychampion1157]

Nissan juke

[@CamilSofrag]

That's it
