I'd also like to know as copies usually look and cause headache when painting fitting. I hate fibre glass products and swore never to buy them again so help me lord. :popcornsoda:

I had a grands worth of headache 3 years back and would never buy fibre crap again. the fibre sucks in the primer and paint very quickly and I've seen the parts painted and how much primer is required.

I went for this one on eBay. Had to say fitting was spot on and no issues since fitting:

If I go for rear bumper (similar to yours Raz), then I will have to go for this front splitter and respray the side skirts.

You guys are a bad influence man!

@rashg60 yeah I put a offer of about £60 and they counter offered. Can't remember what it was but it was cheaper than what they price is so went for it.

@ashvag0 very true and to be fair at this price I have no complaints. Fitting is spot on and paint hasn't flaked off or anything.

No idea - I got the body shop to fit it but from what I saw the screw holes were in the right place and everything seems fine
