Fitted some new parts to the car at the weekend. Bought some pressed plates last week and finally got round to fiiting them the weekend. i got them off www.dubmeister.co.uk and the service was excellent, delivered the next day.
i also added some stickers which ive had for a while, but wasnt sure whether to put them on or not, but i think they look ok.
tempted to rebadge it as opel , but i have a lot of the vauxhall rickbrook stuff inside which i dont want to change so im torn at the moment
comments?

Thats my plan, but im deciding the best way to go about it, not sure if its just a case of hacksawing it out and filing it level or what? also going for a normal vax grill sprayed matt/satin black, or perhaps the same colour as my wheels.

that would look good, looks like an 'early' vegas phil's. thats what i was unsure about. i wouldnt want a big hole in the bumper, that swayed me to get the post bumpers, but if you can find a way around it, that looks good, stick with the pre

Yeah im going to look into, its not going to resemble vegas phils anymore other than colour and wheels, i prefer the low key look and i cant afford anything similar to his (its lush tho!)

Looks nice mate, bit of a panel gap thing going on on the passenger's side, though, the front of the wing and under the headlight. To be fair I have a gap under my driver's headlight as well

yeah i know,only the drivers side has bolts through where the arches and bumpers meet, which is something i have to sort out, but the gap is fairly big. i.e. i can see all behind it at the right angle 
Ste L- im keeping the black, i think they look much better than colour coded, theyll be staying
