Well after knackering it on my first day of ownership (pulled into driveway head-first, didn't do it again - cheers pavement) my bumper's been a real eye-sore - one crack at either side. been looking for a reasonably-priced aftermarket bumper (pref. in pearly white but was a long shot) for ages. nearly got James300's Stillen but someone beat me to it at the last minute.

then out of nowhere this brand new Wings West (my favourite style) in ready-to-paint white spouts up for £240! SOLD!

it arrived a couple of days ago and looks wicked! not had a chance to unwrap it all yet (and check its condition), but its amazing how large the bumper looks when its off the car and sitting in the garage. been fondling the nearside intercooler and fog slots ( :xxx: ).

will try a place Ya5 recommended after having some ('some' :D ) work done on his. also got a Bomex nose panel to be painted and fitted.

cant wait to finally get my bumper sorted and give the car a more aggressive look.

any suggestions as to how much fitting and painting bumper and nose panel would be?

:D just got Zelda back from the bodyshop too dave, having my bumpers put back on after falling off just a little....:x:

Had to have the fron one re-sprayed and re-fitted :(

Bloody good job they done too and would recommend them to all

Barwell Bodyworks in Barwell Liecs :bow:

thanks for that Sarge. I visited a couple of bodyshops yesterday - both of them were umming and ahhing about trying to match the pearlescent paint. one of them (R.E.O) said bring it back on a bright day (it started peeing it down as I was driving around yesterday :( ) so he can look at it better. the other guys took a look at the new bumper and said a bit of work would have to be done on that (bit of rubbing down and little bit of filling). they both offered to blend the (possibly unmatched) bumper colour in across the wings.i might even save up for a respray in arctic white but that'll take ages.

grr after i finally got the bumper i wanted thats just the start of the task. all good fun.

What does the wings west bumper look like? Hope it's nothing like the Vileside one.

WW front:

 

hmm this one seems to be slightly different - perhaps i was wrong saying it was a W.W. any ideas which style it is then? (minus the splitters of course :xxx: )

Check out the fit on that though, it's dreadful. Not bad looking though. The bumper on the blue one does not look very nice.

 

Not keen on all this mesh.

Dave,

 

Its a Bomex buddy...............

i agree - the blue one's too thin at the bottom. wonder if the white one is a different style of W.W. then. :confused: either way its my fave :hyper:

 

just hope the bl00dy thing fits!
