its a aftermarket front bumper, full fibreglass item, got it from ebay, the seller comes on here,
i had to mod the fog lamp holes slightly to fit the gsi fog lamps.
oh and yes as asked previously all the work has been done by myself,
the stickers on the side are staying for now..

to be honest no i dont feel like a bell end whilst driving it, If i was to not like the modifications I have done I wouldnt have done them in the first place!
I wouldnt take a car and turn it into something that i didnt like would i? its been modified for me, in my style and im very happy with it.

i', not a fan of the front bumper but the rest of it all works quite nicely, looks a bit different with out being ridiculous.
sod what everyone else says, it wouldn't be a truely unique car if everyone liked it.

ok, fair play, its just to me having them stickers on like that is the equivielent of walking around with addidas popper trousers teamed with a set of shoes., for both, prejudice is wrong but its human nature.

the boot needs spraying, the patches are matt black, had a couple of dings so decided to sort them out and de-wiper it whilst i was at it, I just havent got around to flatting the whole boot down and spraying it up in gloss black, i've also got another gsi spoiler to be painted black as the current one has holes in the top from an old Saxo spoiler.
thanks for the comments loo_goblin yeah decided the shopping list's had to go, they really bug me on cars now!

I completly see where you are coming from, that the stickers on the side make the car appear 'chavvy' which to be honest I agree with, personally im not a 'chav' allthough i do like the kitted more ott style of cars i like the subtly modified stuff also, i'm more a metal head myself.
I have tried to combat the 'chavvy' look with more performance/handling mods like the brake upgrades, anti-roll bars, strut braces, the engine mods,
I suppose i'm trying to create a best of both worlds car which is why recently I have dropped from 17's to 15's, in order to satisfy my need for a kitted car and also a need for a car which drives and performs well.

They look like shit tattoo's on a car though, I really don't see what looks good/different/kitted about them each to their own though.
Wheels look smart- Dont look like Borbets though. Look like replica OZ Polaris (MHW or something like that- Motorworld jobbies anyway) sprayed up funky?
