Default Front Lip Fitted

Bought an eBay special, wasn't the best quality or fit so had to fix that, and had to take a pot luck guess at the paint with test cards (as i dont have the code - 3 stage pearl too)

paint match is ok, fit is ok, the best we could do with a bumper that's missing most of its fixings and already damaged. it will do till the winter when i plan to strip it and fit new bumpers etc... and have a full respray.

anyway, before



and after




i know have 1/2" less clearance, i dont think it will last long, bumper used to bottom out as it was, might have to take the coilovers up a notice or two!

Good stuff looks good, though I'm not liking the black things on the bonnet - are they openers?

Looks very nice! But have to agree with roids above, not feeling the openers personally.

Like that, can you pm me the link to the seller and a wee note as to how bad/good the fit was. Could you paint the bonnet catches to match the car, might look better then.?

The bonnet catches look much better in person than in pics. I think your car looks ace!
