those rims are really smart mate, and different to the norm from what ive seen on this site. not every ones cup of tea but each to there own. just wonderin if you did all the smoothing youself an if so how hard is the front bumper to do?

Yes i did all the smoothing, welding, fibreglassing myself and to be honest it was all easy on the bumper i filled the grove with fibreglass then went over the top with a special bumper fill which is flexible the hardest part was doing the tow eye cover on the rear because i had to brace it with metal to stop it flexing and cracking all the time.

show cage = stupid and dangerous
not a fan of the wheels, and really think the door / boot handles should not have been removed.

but please, remove the show cage!

not bad, not a fan of some things but top marks for giving it a go. Any problems fitting in the intercooler? i dont want a laguna or a forge jobbie, and the golf one looks like a decent alternative, was it a ball ache to attach it to the car or is it no different to the other ones?

to be honest it was a bugger to fit because of its size and the bumper had to be trimmed so much but i did it in 2 days

if your gonna have a crash/ accident that is bad enough to brake the show cage free and do you injury then then surely the accident itself would cause serious injurys, i dont see how else it could b dangerous. jus my opinion tho :shrug:

Totally agree i think the roll cage hitting you would be the least of your worries.
