Stuck with what to do with the front end of my car though I am sticking to the red/black theme so no colour coding here .

Could get the post 97 front bumper but want to do something really original with it .

Laguna splitter will most definetly be going as it has been totally pummeled by speed bumps.

Ideas ?

Cheers
Gregor

Would it not look fine in the matt black that it is ?

Problem is if I were to smooth the front the whole lot would need done

How easy is fibreglass to work with ?
