    Old bumper is off to the tip unless someone rescues it from me sometime very soon!

    It's really ratty!

    It's been hit a few times so the steel isn't too straight. This generation of bumper just clips into the steel and those clips are stuffed and only just hold on.

    Thumbs up

    It looks great Peter. Well done mate. The bumper even makes the tailpipe more "silvery"!!!!!
    Hope you fitted those support clips.
    Cheers, Andrew

    Yep, the new clips are on and working well! The old ones were rattling around, the new ones really lock into the body work well and hold the ends of the bumper securely.
