Got my car back last night from Dips who did a top job in filling and smoothing this bumper to get it looking like this. And the ICE man Ali a.k.a. Darksounds for rearranging my exisiting setup and working his magic in my boot with a simple boot install. Just had her washed and cleaned up so what you guys think?

No fog lights! Originally the bumper had a recess hole one on each side for the fog lights, but I didn't want them so the holes were filled and smoothed and techinically speaking I still have fog lights so the ones for the bumper weren't really needed!

Nothing else mate! Not much else I can do now. Interior just needs recolonising to get it fresh, its pretty much complete!

i am not a fan of aftermarket kits but yours does look quite good, just goes to show fitting and finishing the kit is everything! and as mentioned above there are a thousand cabs with the tech2 (mine being one!!) now its unique! good work fella!

and anyway it looks 1000000000% better then when you first got it.... those bonnet scoops, red grill and side badging.... :o:

I remember when you first came on here and posted pics of your car, you got a lot of slating about your car crash through a Halfords shopfront but I have to hand it to you, you've well and trully redeemed yourself. It's a very nice looking car now! Well done fella. :cool:

hi rich you alright mate i reckon if you get rid of the mtech spoiler it will make the look better

also i jus noticed your back bumper at the bottom near the rear arch it needs to come out more have a look at the back pics showing from the back and side

you can made a bracket that makes it all look level from the side if you see the rear bumper its slighty in there

il show you mine once it comes out from the bodyshop

Absolutely love the front bumper, really nice. But IMHO im not a fan of the sideskirts or the rear bumper. I think with the wheels and the front bumper it looks like a class chariot but could do with something a touch more inkeeping with the side skirts and rear bumper.

If the front bumper is like the one on a macau blue convertible on e30.de then the rear bumper that matches the front is the way forward..infact just get the side skirts too!

But its your mota and you do what you want. At the end of the day were only a sounding board for ideas.

Keep up the good work
