Don't let Ollie hear you say this

Keep it original

Why would you want to change the chrome for plastic? A bit of a pain in the ass job to change a chromie to plastic from what i hear, why not colour code the bumpers if there not in great condition? The car will always look like a pre face lift anyway due to the rear arches being higher.

How can I change my facelifted 320 to chrome? Would the older bumpers fit mine?

the front will fit with the older valance and brackets fitted, not sure on the rear unless you went for tech 1 and a grinder !

thanks i can't see much difference with the front facelift. was it only fog lamps and no chrome?
