Hi all, finally got my front bumper back from a mates garage, and just test fitted it...
Before:
After:
I don't know what you lot think but in my eyes thats a big improvement over the old one. Just have to wait for the rear to be done and then it can go on for good. The fogs will be used legally so don't fret!
A problem I have though is the passenger side retaining bolt is spinning round and not unscrewing:
Heres a pic taken from the inside:

The gold collet seems to be fixed onto the wing on the other side and the bolt screws into it. On this side however it is like the collet has become unattached and is just spinning, meaning I'll probably have to take the wing off to get to it to unscrew it
That wing is a replacement, I know because it happened when it belonged to my sister, and considering they didn't lacquer it it's probably a cheapo pattern wing, maybe thats why this collet isn't attached?
Next up, body colour the side bumpstrips to go with the bumpers, or remove them completely, I work at a supermarket though and have to share a carpark with idiots who don't know how to open doors so maybe I should colour code them.
