Looks pretty good. Maybe too low for MOT regulation and such?

Doesnt scrape that much tbh, on the cordoba splitter the little holes are about 3" deep vent things so if put inside they wouldnt get hit at all. Got bare bulbs behind the grill at the moment which i thought would last about a week but they have been ok for about 8 months. (one did get smashed by a gritter)

Its fine but they have flaked off and had to spin them 180 to the amber side
Just wondering what other people have used, was looking at some golf mk2 small bumper indicators (close to what morette ones are) but they look chunky!

grill is a winner for me, mark lawton did this works a treat, clear to see, at front of car so mot passable, and looks smart when in use

anything in the grill will, down in the splitter might not be.

Indicators in the splitter won't pass an MOT, they're too low.

iirc you can not have indicators or any lights behind grills because they obscure the light. Perhaps the police man didn't know that but I'm pretty sure its will be a failure either way you do it.
