rav525 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Sorry Rav! Any news on the other skirt? I called them up to let them know my car has two sides, Left and Right. Think they were shocked to hear that tbh. They offered me partial refund of £25 , failing to understand why amazon don't know what the half of £179 is. Anyway long story short they will send out a replacement.............. IN 2 MONTHS! (out of stock nonsense). They had two in stock, one they sent to me and one to the poor woman who ordered a ironing board! Just have to wait now. Happy with the price so can't complain. Congrats on your bumper, I know it looks good on my car but looks even better in black! I will come over to see it once its done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybrain1234 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Looking good mate. And best thing is getting a good price. I love a good old bargain. My only advice - use a reputable body shop or one you know can do a great job. Bumper like that deserves a top finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looking good mate. And best thing is getting a good price. I love a good old bargain. My only advice - use a reputable body shop or one you know can do a great job. Bumper like that deserves a top finish. Definitely, I'll be getting it done properly by a good company Not jealous at all Looking good Chirag. Can't wait to see the new rear fitted Same mate, I'm contemplating having the diffuser section a slightly different shade of black, maybe a charcoal or anthracite colour, to make it stand out a bit from the bumper section. If doing that I may even look at doing the side steps and the mines front lip in the same shade to see if it looks better or not. Perhaps a photoshop would be good to check first... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Some b@stard keyed my bonnet so had that resprayed too along with the Mines front lip bonded to the bumper and smoothed in. Also had my side steps colour coded too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 And some photos of the complete finished article - words cannot describe how happy I am with the finish! We decided that the diffuser section should be Gunmetal so it contrasts against the all black. He also managed to sort out a curb mark on my front passenger side wheel so happy days all around! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMLNJ Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 does the rear bumper sit lower than standard? looks brilliant and the work looks really well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 does the rear bumper sit lower than standard? looks brilliant and the work looks really well done Thanks mate. It does sit slightly lower than standard as it incorporates the diffuser section into it. It hugs round the tailpipes nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
