Post by M7 »

i dont know what the word for them would be.

but the black bits on the bottom of the bumpers. is there any special way they come off before i go and try it and break them?

cheers for the help lol

got it sorted now. 3 screws on rear diffuser bit and then unclipped off.

2 screws on front, and 2 in the arches (had to take my wheels off to get at them) then it was a little trickier to get off, but that just unclipped too.


they should look good when painted 8)

pic's will follow.

this is the front end at the minute!

in my opinon i think painting the back plastic bit is better than the rear votex bit as that seems alot more chunky.

(sorry dino, i stole your pic :P )

if you can imagine it being alot lower down when i get my new painted bit on, it should look very similar to the votex look, but sit alot more flush

fill it with an exhaust and it'd be ok :)

But I don't have a problem with it in the first place
