Added an M3 bumper gasket to my tech 2 bumper,

Here it is after giving the flank of the car a good going over -strangely it looks more henna in this light.

Anyway should i have another go and get it to sit right, or bin the whole idea?

All the best!

Chris :D

Cheers Dave,

It was fairly cheep -cant remember off-hand as i have had it over 6 months,

If i had realised the way it was going to sit as i put the bumper back on it i would have trimmed it down a lot better as it stands it sits ok-ish, but with a fresh gasket and the right trimming down it should look a lot better...

Good idea but angle of the picture is difficult to tell if its sitting correctly?
