No I like the bump strips, plus I don't wanna go over the top.

I'm getting over work done at the time but it works out to be about Â£120 a bumper!

Passed my MOT yesterday with flying colours!

Only thing that was a problem, was one of my full beams bulbs had gone

.

So I nipped home and had it replaced in 10 minutes!! (getting pretty fast at changing the bulbs now

), rolling odd bulbs for the minute now tho.

Had the garage check the pedalbox while he was at it too, which he said was fine.

He suggested getting the clutch replaced soon though, which I expected. Plus tax on monday - More money!

Proper updates to come soon watch this space

No it's on the lower grill, it's easier to get it on and off down there.

Looks good. I can't wait to get my bumpers and side strips done properly at the moment. My car is looking totally half arsed at the moment

Yeh I considered sidestrips too, but thought it may be a little too much for me.

Looking good Tim, welcome to the smooth club

Having the plate on the lower grille makes cleaning the bumper nice as well!

Yeh I always find the front bumper a fiddly nightmare when washing it, will be a piece of cake now!!
