    Default Fitted and sprayed sports bumper w/ fogs...

    Yeah, I normally don't post pictures of what I do to my car but I can't not post a picture of this, I'm dead impressed.

    So it had a normal bumper before with running lights (lol boring), and so I bought a new sports bumper, a mesh grille and foglights (all OEM). Sprayed the full bumper myself using Halfords rattle cans, yeah, Halfords rattle cans lol and it's a surprisingly really good match. Machine polish it next weekend and it'll be glossy as the rest of the car ... not cleaned it in two weeks oml. So just need to buy some better fog bulbs, going to get the same as my heads which are Osram nightbreakers. Wahoo. Well impressed and proud of it. Had to retrofit the foglights, wired them all myself. My hands are sore and bleeding slightly but HEY it's all part and parcel of having a car. Next I've got to refurb my spoiler... the old owner sprayed it badly and the lacquer is peeling.

    Here it is:

    Right - After

    Took me about a week to spray the bumper (including prepping and waiting for the paint to dry), 7 hours to remove the old and fit the new bumper and then about 3/4 hours today to wire them up properly. thx

    Looks as good as new It's weird seeing previous model cars in all their shining glory.

    Was your car pre-wired for the fogs, or did they have to add a switch?
    I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.
