Title: US SPEC FRONT BUMPER
Post by: Veee-dubber on March 25, 2013, 08:44:22 am

Morning all,


Been eyeing up the us spec front bumper and was just wondering what the differences actually are? is it just the side markers? And are these reflectors rather than repeaters?

If it is just a case of the side markers being there and not in uk bumpers I was wondering if anyone had ever retrofitted these? My bumper is going in to the body shop for some smoothing and paint etc so I'm wondering how hard it can actually be to make this possible, anyone have any opinions or suggestions?

They are just side marker lights...they do not signal turns and are not just reflectors. You can find amber or clear bulbs for them. They also come in amber, smoked, or white. I do not know how to fit or what wiring issues you may run into.

ha its your car that actually inspires me to do this to my front end!

And I love your fog grills, did you just drill the holes out yourself?
