cmon man, it's obvious
you cut out the bumper from the black one following the panel lines.

use a sharp exacto style knife and becareful not to cut urself or parts of the model u didn't intend to.

Turn the exacto knife blade backwards from the way you usually use it and keep going over the lines until you cut through. When used this way the knife acts like a wood chisel and you should get curls of plastic behind blade as it cuts.

it would be easy if you had a jewlers saw but the back of a X-Acto No.11 will do the job.

"Neige: is that the front bumper from the Initial D FD3S driven by Kyoko?"

i'm not sure, it came as an extra part with the GReddy Rx-7 in my sig.

Greddy is sharing many parts from Kyoko's. Obviously, the Greddy has its own front bumper, so it has an extra front bumper. I'm thinking of modifying the extra part to make another front bumper from some other brand, but I have no idea of which.
