   right im getting rid of my front bumper as its a right mess and im going for a different look done a couple photoshops (dont take the piss out my poor skills lol)
   
   so first of all smoothed tow eye, yellow fogs, black bumpstrips/splitter, vertical slats removed
   
   secondly, same as above with smoothed fogs
   
   
   ive also smoothed the chevrons out the grille so its like the one ive got lol

    owwwwwwwww i;m gonna be only one to say with fogs, think they give the saxo a aggressive look. only semi like the smoothed fog look on fully euro'd cars and even then only a handfull i like.

    ive already got smoothed fogs so i thought yellow fogs would be a little different but i admit i love the smoothness of no fogs lol
    
    oooo what project you got in mind
    
    and i was annoyed we didnt get our cars photo'd together would have looked beautiful lol
    
    but look to the future eh lol

    it doesnt have the main supporting beam (needs bonding on again), and it doesnt have the two corner brackets, and the filler cracked when i was being towed and the tow eye snapped and took some filler with it and its chipped to hell lol the bumper is easily salvageable would need repairing/respraying and then you would have to bond the brackets on to it, its never been fitted properly, i think ben might be having it though
    
    and yea ill ask him, when you say widemouth'd do you just mean the vertical/horizontal slats cut out and then smoothed and sprayed?

    tbh i would have thought it would cost the same as mine, as its pretty much (if not less) work than my bumper

    i think the only reason to keep the fogs would be to spray them yellow, but thats just me lol anyway fogs are going again, cant wait to get it all started should only be a week or two until i get it
