Fantastic Ferg.

The GP bumper looks good in Dark Silver. Fair play to you, and your patience!

Thanks Jon ;)
You'd faint if I told you how much the bumper is standing me at the moment.............!!!!!! :(
But it was worth it ;)
You have to remove and do away with the fog lights though for the bumper to fit but I didn't mind.
Thanks Derek :)
Yeah very long time coming!!!
This is the third one that I went for but I'm delighted with the new look.
Aero grill being fitted this week hopefully and that will be the new look sorted ;)

I love that front bumper. If you ever don't want it anymore i'll be first in queue.

Yeah it's a genuine GP front bumper. Mega rare and hard to find. Took me about a year and a half or so to get this one!
It makes the car I think ;)
Will keep you in mind if I ever sell it.
