March 14, 200916 yr Just swapped my old cracked bumpers for newly painted ones today. Bit of trepidation due to long and detailed idiots guides that I've read. However, it all went well. The rear took longer due to the boot being dismantled to get all the nuts. One thing - after the car was bolted back together - we found a piece of moulded polystyrene that fell out of the old front bumper - we left it out. It looked like it was shaped for a reason but couldn't work out it's usefulness so it stayed out!! Any obs? Edited March 14, 200916 yr by peranaman

March 18, 200916 yr Author Here's the before and after shots - you decide. First 3 shots are the old uns. Last lot are new but taken in a rush so maybe not as high res as I'd like.
