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
pic's will follow.
this is the front end at the minute!

It should look good when u get them painted m7, remember post some pics when you get it done, think that`s what i`ll need to do on the rear bumper of mine, i can`t seem to get the fitting kit for the rear votex bumper i`ve got
lol

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
)
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

yeh it does look smoothish and flush (ish)
IMO i dont like the bumper cut out, esp when cc'd
thats y i rather pay a bit more to get it 'flush' with the full votex kit

fill it with an exhaust and it'd be ok
But I don't have a problem with it in the first place
