"Bodybuilding" - parts of the car body performing three main functions:
1. Protection of nodes, aggregates and metal parts of the body from light damage.
3. Improving the aerodynamic properties of the car.
Bidding happens from:
- Polyurethane
- ABS plastic
- Metal,
- Composite.
Consider composite families in detail.
Composite parts are divided into several varieties:
First look:
Fiberglass composite colors:
Fiberglass is the most common material in the production of kites and the most popular. Relatively low cost, relatively high specifications firmly attacked this species Founders in the leader's position.
A huge number of tuning companies around the world produced, produce and will produce their details from fiberglass.
Lumma, Hamann., Lorinser, Tech Art, Gemballa, Mugen., Fabulos, Apr., Buddy Club, HKS., Blitz, BomeX. And other global tuning brands are successfully used in the production of their products precisely composite fiberglass.
Advantages of fiberglass tuning bodies for cars:
Low cost in comparison with polyurethane analogues.
- Excellent maintainability.
- Deep forms and complex design, inaccessible to ABS or polyurethane obligations.
- Resistance to temperature drops.
- Mobility of manufacture.
- That is why tuning stuffing is made from fiberglass composites.
Disadvantages of fiberglass kites:
Insufficient comparative elasticity.
- As a rule, a mandatory fit on the car to painting.
- Special requirements for painting fiberglass kites.
- Human factor. There is a low quality due to the manual production method.
As a result, fiberglass composite parts are divided by the buyer buyers in two categories -
The first is the ardors of the composites. As a rule, people are not interested in tuning or do not want to change the appearance of their car and not demanding on the design of their cars. The choice of this category of buyers is most likely to fall on the side of the kites in the factory execution, from ABS or Polyurethane.
Second - fans fiberglass kites. Preferring non-standard options for a complete set of cars. Those who want to stand out from the monotonous flow of the same cars in the stream. Understanding that difficulties in fitting or painting such kites are compensated by their final cost and ready to go through this path.
And those and others in their own way - we will not judge them and let's go further.
Second view:
Carbon composite parts and tuning parts.
Carbon (Ugletka).
Kevlar.
Hybrid. (combination of carbon or kevlar with glass materials)
The peculiarity of this group is the technical characteristics of carbon -
Advantages of carbon boxes:
- Little weight in comparison with fiberglass.
- High tensile strength.
- Thermal features of the material are higher than that of fiberglass.
- Beautiful structure. "Species Manufacturing" does not require painting.
Disadvantages of carbon boxes:
- Working and expensive repair in case of damage.
- Expensive components - more than five times higher than fiberglass.
- A small range of products offered, due to low consumer demand.
This group of body kit on cars exists rather for elected tuning connoisseurs. The choice of details from carbon and kevlar is usually falling in the event of an acute need to reduce the weight of the car or add chic in the case of the use of species details. The high cost of materials makes such tuning products by expensive and not massive.
However, in motor racing, these products are used with great success. There are no substitutes for the group of carbon kites.
(To be continued).

Undoubtedly - tuning bumper has always been and remains a business card unusual car. Never a regular decision will provide so much opportunity to express the personality of the owner and create a truly fresh look for the car body. The trends of the automotive market and technology move forward, and together with them. Today, the rich selection of front bumpers on cars Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Lexus and many other brands made an assortment of the top tuning most attractive for the most demanding buyers. Unusual and strict, low and high, with daytime running lights and with hot air intakes - the front bumper has become the main activator in the direction of external car tuning and truly occupy an honorable first place in the ranking of our catalog.
Buy front tuning bumper or all body kit is entirely a question of approach. Some start-up tuners lovers start with replacement front bumper And gradually bring the car to perfection combining elements and creating a unique image. This method distinguishes buyers with bright fantasy and bold, non-standard solutions in the appearance of the car. The second is usually preferred to brands and are ready to rely on the opinion of professionals who carefully created an image of a car body kit in a single concept and taking into account the peculiarities of a particular design.
Shop top tuning ready to offer you maximum choice front bumpers from an extensive catalog on our website. Choose necessary car And we hope - you will find the image that I was looking for so long!

What do you think: what element of the car design is most susceptible to different hazards? Most likely you answered correctly - this is a bumper. Incorrectly calculated the height of the border? In the parking lot, your car served as an "obstacle" for a beginner driver? "Caught" hidden water in a deep pit? Then you definitely need to order a new bumper. Making bumpers to order - our topic today.
The bumper of the car is the most commonly repaired and replaceable item. Original elements are not suiced, Chinese analogues are a frank "emission of money", besides, they do not always coincide in size. Therefore, the car owner remains one way out - to order the manufacture of bumpers in the workshop. You can of course ride and with small scratches And in small chips, but sooner or later the bumper will still have to change.
Brief business analysis:
Business costs:1 000 000-1 500 000
Actual for cities with a population:from 400,000
Situation in the industry:the market is not saturated
The complexity of business organization:3/5
Payback: 1.5-2 years
However, the replacement of the bumper is not always the cause of spoiled external view. Often the bumper is ordered in tuning atelier In order to update the face of the machine. Creative bodies that can turn an old car into a luxury car are very often ordered, so the owners of this business are provided with work for many years ahead.
Start business for the manufacture of bumpers to order is not harder than, let's say, open a mobile tireage, or organize a vehicle of the car. The work scheme can be represented as follows:
Step 1: Project Development
Most bumpers to order are manufactured strictly according to individual design. Initially, the client voiced his wishes to the new bumper, then the designer recreates his bumper vision first on the paper sheet, then in special computer programs for working with 3D graphics. After that, the sketch is shown to the customer, and in the case of approval goes to work. If not, then the sketch of the future bumper is being refined.
All templates are saved. They will be useful as a filling for the workshop portfolio, other customers can also wish themselves the same structural elements.
Step 2: Matrix Development for Bumper
We think you do not need to explain what the word "matrix" means. Its surface must immediately repeat the form of the future product. The matrix itself can be made of solid material - metal, technical plasticine, or a special composite. If the client wished to establish a bumper on a car with complex obligations, then the matrix for the manufacture of such a design is best masked by pieces.
Step 3: Bumper Production
In order to understand exactly how the bumper is being made, it does not matter front or rear, you need to first learn from which materials they can be made. Several options:
- Steel. It makes the so-called "power bumper". Usually such can be found almost on any SUV. Moreover, the power bumper is not at all what they call the "kenguryatnik" - they are often confused. Manufacture power bumpers And their installation is permitted by law, if an appropriate entry will be submitted in the traffic police about changing the car's design.
- Fiberglass. Bumper from fiberglass can be made with your own hands in its own garage, but it is better to trust this business to specialists.
- Plastic. Plastic bumper is the most common option that can be found on Russian roads.
Let's look at the manufacture of the bumper on the example of fiberglass, as the most simple way. Fiberglass is cut into certain pieces and stacked inside the matrix in several layers. After that, various resins are added as a ligament, which give the structures strength. After some time, the bumper can be removed from the matrix and send to the next step - painting.
Tip: In order for the billet easily to leave the matrix, the Teflon polyrolol is used.
Step 4: Painting
Painting bumper is the final stage. Pick up the paint in the color of the car is quite difficult, so often the owners of the machines ordered the bumper completely different color. By the way, such cars look quite extravagant.
Who take to work
As the practice of other entrepreneurs, the business for the production of bumpers can be engaged together. No special knowledge, except for computer skills, is not required for this, all the necessary information can be found on the Internet independently, or get advice on our website.
The workshop can be quite accommodated in the usual garage, which has every second car owner, so there should be no problems with an area for production. By the way, you can learn what other business can do, having your own garage.
And finally, I would like to give everyone who wants to try your hand in private business: do not stop in achieving your goals at the first failure. Often it happens, novice entrepreneurs lower hands, being just one step from success. We hope that this will not happen to you. Good luck!
The main focus is the manufacture of both replicas of collaps and individual projects. Fiberglass, Duraflex, composite materials - There is a huge number of titles. But the essence is one - the products created by the matrix by the use of resin, fiberglass and heaps of various additives. It is the opinion that such products are fragile, short-lived, frost-resistant. NOT. It may be so if you order a body kit from China or garage production - where the total savings in all during production goes. All products that we offer are made only with the use of expensive and time-tested components from leading manufacturers. It is not afraid of nor frost, nor high temperatures under the hood. The most important thing is the first color in the chamber at a temperature not higher than 35 degrees - so to speak, for quenching. The main advantage of fiberglass is its maintainability. In case of small damage, or even disorders of geometry with the missing elements - it is easy to restore it. But due to the peculiarities of production, such products will almost always require fitting when installed on a car. From small to global, depending on the quality of the matrix.
ABS plastic or fiberglass - what to choose.
We have already told fiberglass features. Let's now consider an alternative material in the production of aerodynamic bodies - ABS plastic - pressure casting method. Externally and according to the properties, these products are similar to the original plastic. The same elastic, light, not requiring fittings during installation (if not China, again). But in absolutely any cases, such products go an order of magnitude higher in the price, due to the entire production costs. Also, in case of damage, the product is quite difficult to restore, it loses its structure.
