Nice one Chris, well done mate. Looks so much better.

Yeah it does, cant wait to get it painted and re-chromed or whatever so its near perfect.

On a side note, you would have my balls if you knew how it was fitted  :ashamed:

It itsnt to everyone's taste. I've fallen in love with it, and because the bumper is metalic, it looks like an R32 for some reason  :P

That looks great Chris   :congrats:
As long as the end result is what your after who cares how its fitted!  :happy2:
Cant see the colour differences in the pictures. Nice Xmas lights.

Are you getting a small front plate?
I bought a sticky on plate from ebay to stick to my bra, but not been brave enough to fit it yet. Bra only on for Mon-Fri motorway miles.

Keep the updates coming.

Thanks, I am thinking about a bike size 'pressed' plate, or just running my pressed plate with magnets... We shall see when its all together properly  :laugh:

The colour diference is only noticable if your actuallt interested in cars, otherwise you probably wouldnt realise. Regardless, its getting painted.

Ive seen a smooth chrome grill from JOM german site:

Looking lovely. Best upgrade I've done I think to date. They just make the back and make it look so sleek.

Iv got edition 30 rears but i believe its easier on the standard rears. I dont fancy drilling into an expensive set of lights though!
