Cost me £150 and no car for two and a half days. They had problems cleaning it as I had sealed it to well  :wink:
Are the h&r springs better then? I no I don't want it to low just to fill the gap in the wheel arch.

Looks good. A pair of darkened (R32 style) rear lenses are needed next.

I prefer the all black bumper but I'm a little odd. :confused:

Like that Lady_GTI! I often toy with the idea of colour coding the rear valance in the same way but like Tortaruga i too quite like the all black bumper. My car is silver and the black contrasts really well and so long as i keep it clean helps with the sporty look imo.

Thanks for all the comments I'm really glad I had it done. I was toying with the idea of having the r32 bumper but didn't want it to become an r32/ed30 look alike. Want the oem+ fresh look.

Im thinking of getting mine done but i would get the skirts and front splitter done also..... not having my car for 2 and a half days though would be a nightmare!  :scared:
