So update time. By popular demand the front bumper is going to disappear and its making way for for a standard one again but unfortunately its the pre 97 not the post 97. So plans are to smooth the crease line between the black's and colour is. Get rid of the pre 97 upper grill and change it to the post 97 grill. Will be keeping the lower grill but be adding black mesh behind it. Plus all being sprayed to match the car will be putting pics up asap. And will be fitting a splitter but not sure which one :D

Well sanded all the bumper down now and smoothed one of the recess. Then noticed both parts to bolt the bumper on under the arch plastics are missing. One word gutted :(
