Introduction
Paid a visit to good old Ben R today 
, and had a tinker about with my 5 door...
He had already replaced the bumper on his 3 door, and so sprayed his old one up to colour match mine [and got the colour spot on] ! It was amazing how many variances there are between the cars, even at the front; every single line was different, lol, but he made it fit
The before shot:
The scary bit:
At this stage, had to move across the rubber trim - and try and force out the grill - not nice, considering the clips had been plastic welded
The final result:
Unless you look real closely, you can't see the odd gap - I am very pleased with the end result, and total transforms the front of the car...
Oh, and he still did the obligatory engine bay colour coding as well
BTW, there will be a proper 'Stilo - how to remove front bumper' thread
Cheers Ben - next stop, eBay/Lester body parts - side skirts, rear spoiler, 18" alloys, rear bumper, strutbrace, Supersprint :chin:
