   right the front bumper is coming off the vt tomorrow to be widmouthed and i'm gonna stick an old flat arch bumper on for the time being,
   assuming this'll fit right??
   i'm undecided as to whether or not i should de-fog while i'm at it,
   what are peoples opinions of the two together?
   and if anybody has a picture it would be a great help as i'm making a start in the next couple of days,
   thanks.

   i would de-fog it mate, i hate fog lights anyway never use them lol. Plus they aren't a legal requirement so you won't get into any trouble when MOT comes around. The front end will look nice and smooth with a widemouth and de-fogged. go for it!
