Default OEM front lip + OEM bumper + bodyshop

She's back and i'm really happy with how it has turned out, not going to bang on about it - so here's the pictures.


As it was ...



As it was with badge removed and plate holes popped back out and front lip fitted ready for paint.



As it is now.








I couldn't have asked for a better finish.

Looks fantastic although I'm surprised you didn't remove the washers

WIth the way govt legislation is going, I figured i'd only end up having to refit them .. I don't mind them being there and they're not 'working' Going to be the easiest car yet to keep clean though - NO badges to polish around!

Looks a good job, i think the oem spoilers and lip finish the car off nicely.

Can you make the pictures bigger, they are difficult to see

Well i figured with some of the age / jaundice on here i'd best cater for all vision quality

OEM lip but it's been smoothed to blend in with the front air dam - normally there's a black rubber trim that sits between the lip and bumper - didn't have that so improvised

Love the Zero badges look, and i think on balance the washers should have gone

I know what you mean Chippo but as above, I don't mind the look of them and in case they become an MOT test item - easier if they stay.

Looks good UF! I really like the shaving of the badge from the bonnet, smoothes the front out and makes it look very clean! Where did you get the work done? It's something I'd like to get done eventually.

Also, is your number plate bracket a DIY job? It looks really good and I want to mount my plate there so again on the 'to do list'.

I like the blending of the lip but clobbered minea while back and found it useful to be able to remove the lip and get it sprayed as I could still use the car while the work was being done.

I'll have to check it out at the meet later

Alex
