Just orderd crystal headlamps and indicators and booked it in for front painting tho!!

I painted the bumper myself in my garage, it wasn't difficult and much cheaper than using a bodyshop.

I'd keep the numberplate holder myself as I have no problem with it.

Fitting the outer lights is easy, if you're getting inner lights then they're more difficult.

Good luck with it mate.

Itss just the outer lamps as im going with the single light grill. How did you paint the bumper? do you have a spray gun or aerosol?????

Also does the chin spoiler fit over the original one or a replacement?

Mate, I just used a spray can from Halfrauds mate. Not a problem as it's not that big an area really, only trouble I had was matching the colour. if I was to do it again I might get the paint from a supplier for a perfect coiour match.


The chin spoiler is a replacement for the standard one and is quite easy to fit taking the shape of the bumper very easily.

Not keen on the candy or flip stuff personally but your bid your choice so that's cool.

Sounds like you're making good progress though so well done mate.

I have to say though that I've lowered mine by 40mm and fitted a VR6 chin too. I've resisted relocating my numberplate because I tend to scrape my chin on the way out of my drive.

So far so good mate. It's just that the Council didn't drop the kurb entrance to my drive very well. Everything else is good.
