Nice work, even though you haven't done anything drastic it'll stand out from everyone else's.

I've done something similar with my front bar by just cutting the holes out further, make's a huge difference and it stand's out from everyone else's

Should look good when it's done Interesting though, my little bro is undertaking a similar project on his VP front and started yesterday, by merging a VR bumper with the VP headlights and grill. Should look like a weird VR exec/VN group A hybrid :S

just was looking at your picks it will look good when finished. I have done a fair ammount of plastic repairs on bumper bars at work. It looked like you have glued those pieces in the center of the bar, the best way to do this is it use a soldering iorn and melt them together that way, it will be a lot stronger and also wont bother with your bog when you fill it. when you fill it make sure you get a bumper bar filler, you will find that it sticks better as well as also be a lot more flexabel if anything happens.
hope this helps a little bit.

I just spent 3 hours playing Worms with my mates. So much for studying with them!

I learnt that I suck on Ninja Ropes... but I'm good with sheep! (and I won't reword that!)
