HSV E3 bumper conversion.

[G8V8]

G8V8, do you happen to know if they carry an 06-08 E Series bumper? I didn't see it on their site.

Afraid I don't know. They have gotten items, however, that are not on their site. Find Aaron Fagan on Facebook and ask him.

I order the kit from Aaron also. I have not received it yet. So while I am waiting, I basically need the harness,front garnish (prefer the carbon fiber) , and what else exactly?

I order this kit and I need this part plus the wiring harnes also.

Yes, the E2/E3 hood header is one piece which extends to both sides of the peak at the front of the hood.

Walkinshaw real carbon fibre version
Aftermarket fibreglass version.




Ed (G8V8) fitted the Walkinshaw version.


10 screws secure the hood header to the hood.

I had the hood scoops and license tag bar area of the bumper wrapped in satin black to mimic the look of the R8 Clubsport without committing to paint, yet.

Not sure if I mentioned it but while I was installing the bumper, I installed a forward looking camera and wired it to the head unit via an A/B video switch so I could see behind me or about out to 2 feet in front of the new, lower E3 bumper. To control which view is displayed, I installed and wired a HSV Suspension control switch that I configured to operate the A/B switch unit. The switch is illuminated with the dash lighting as well as indicating which camera is active. Red = front camera.
