and in with the new.... well almost neway! even tho i put the current filter on less than 6k ago and did it up hand tight and lined the rubber with oil the fahooker still stuck fast n i cant get it off, so filter will have to wait till next oil change as i need the car tomos for work! :lol:

You took the bumper off to fit the fogs?!!

I did it the hard way those stupid clips snapped they're supposed to screw into :evil:

I just pulled the splash guards down and fitted some nuts - job done!!

Exhaust looks better - i'd pull it up a little bit more but thats just me :D

By the way how do you remove the front bumper? I want to swap wings and noticed the bumper has to come off...

[Coops]

corse i took the bumper off! easier that way, no fiddlin about under my car! have u seen how low it is!! :P

two bolts, one either side under the front wings, then two more across the bottom to the subframe cross memeber. finally remove number plate and theres another 10mm nut sunk into the hole removing the plate leaves! altho sum muppet who owned my car b4 obviously didnt know that n ragged it off so i can leave my plate on now! :roll: :lol:

[Daz.]

looks a tad high to me :wink:

M583 RBW ready for take off!!

[Scott-16v!]

^lol. looks much fresher

[clowo16v]

Looks good. I've left the nut off behind the number plate cos the screws that held the plate on seized so i've stuck it on this time.

mines in tatters!lol, the metal braket has ripped clean out of the bumper and is rusted to the car! :roll:

number plates have always been double sided sticky taped on, looks tidier than havin great dirty big screws through em! 8)
