They look nice what are they? Think they'll go well with you a silver car! Break the Irmscher/MHW mould!

Right, after looking everywhere, I haven't a clue where I'd find a Steinmetz rear bumper seem dead hard to come across.

The other bumper that I really like is the Reiger RS.



Would this seem stupid? as I'd then have steinmetz skirts and an irmscher splitter? Since the skirts are going to be smoothed in and the front bumper will be smoothed in, I think it might work alright?

This is why I need photoshop lol

What do you think?

You've changed your name!

I had that rear bumper. It looked ok on mine cos i had the matching front. I don't think it would go with your front.

I'd personally just smooth that standard rear.

I can now fantasise that I have a turbo you see

Yeh I thought that, was a 'wild little wonder' if it could ever work..... nope!

Maybe it is best smoothing the standard one, or a GSI smoothed as Ive got one of them too. GSI bumper seems a bit lower which is always good

Just gotta pick between the two now and get it smoothed, which can be done soon!

^^ Just ordered a set of these ^^

Decided on smoothing the standard rear now after looking at every option. Going to find out how much it'd be and get that done soon also

Right set off at 11:45 on the 21st down to Cardiff to pick something special up... Didn't take a map or sat nav, just two mates; one that fell asleep instantly <---- yeh cheers mate but the other knew the directions down there..... until we got to a roundabout.

He told me the way he knew but me, being me saw a nice big 'SOUTH WALES' sign so thought aha, can't go wrong, so I went that way.

After a big mix of dead nice roads and absolutely horrible exhaust scratching roads, 5 and a half hours later, I ended up far out into ENGLAND

Woke the girlfriend up and she got the directions for me (something that maybe I should have done earlier), got to Cardiff and fell asleep for 15 mins or so.

I then had to head west to find a junction 33! After heading through a bit of cardiff, not sure where I was going, I saw a sign for junction 33..... Just as I was going off on the slip road!!!!!!!!

I finally got to the services after managing to turn around and head back the other way and met 'dean101287' , Seemed like a nice genuine guy so it was nice to meet you bud even though I had to head back straight away and hand over a big chunk of money, but I got my part of the deal.....

TURBO KIT



After being stuck in traffic and somehow heading to the tip of the wirral on the way back, I ended up back at home at half 5, when I was supposed to be in work at 3. After a few sorry words with the supervisor, I had to work until 11, thought he wouldve had sympathy as I was absolutely knackered and starving but hey, Igot my turbo

Cheers for the reading my essay

Thats been through my mind, going to put it on this first then get a 1.6 engine, rebuild and put it on that, all in good time

Still going to be fun on a 1.4 anyways
