I have a spare set of the genuine facelift orange ones, but most people go the clear with orange bulbs. They dont take too long to arrive from the UK. Couple of weeks at most.any in australia? lol

Re: FRONT BUMPER
by the time you finish everything, get it freighted down,sprayed,new lights.
you will be around a $1000.
i just finished doing mine, ill give u a rough idea of what it cost
bumper $500 + freight
respray $200 (mates rates)
lights - i think i spent like $400 cant remember exactly.
total $1100 give or take $100
also depending on which lights you get, if you got the same lights i did you will have custom wire everything, and relocate your parker's into the headlight. your parkers are in the fog-light like mine were!
this will rack up more cost, unless you can do it yourself or get someone you no to do it for you.

Re: FRONT BUMPER
why do you want to change it? if yours isnt damaged in anyway?
ask for a quote but i think shipping will be very expensive and maybe don't hold me to this but around $1000 landed.
then you will have to paint it!

if it's out of a mould it may not fit perfectly either.

Re: FRONT BUMPER
Itll only be that expensive if you buy new headlights.
Bar - $500
Freight - not sure would have to quote
Facelift indicators - $80
VW Fogs/Angels - $70 from memory - not sure of the legalities of using the angels as parkers, but cant see why that wouldnt work.
Paint - whatever you can get it for
There is a little rewiring required, but it isnt difficult.
Other options:
Stock prefacelift
Veilside
Stock Facelift (this would require the same lights mentioned above)
Personally, id stick with what you have

Re: FRONT BUMPER
That will be easy to have repaired when it is being resprayed. No need for a new bar.

it is illegal to use the angers as parker's i enquired a while back, would have to relocate them to headlight like i did, surprisingly its very easy!!
i agree with dstocks stay with what you have.

Re: FRONT BUMPER
Ahhhh, OK, good to know. Must try and find alight thatcan be used as a parker in the foglight hole though. Is the most logicalplace for it short of doing what you did. How did you go about locating them in the headlights if you dont mind me asking?it is illegal to use the angers as parker's i enquired a while back
And you told him you were in Australia? Thats a very low quote for postage from the UK. Getting yours fixed so it looks just as good as a new one will still cost substantially less than any new bar you buy.mine is getting cracked a bit down the side. seller quoted me £100 so basically 150-200$$ in freight. and im going to respray my car orange with black being 2toned

first off what u need to do is drill out the parker bulb holder in the foglight ( thing its twists and locks into) bit of a hacks way at doing but ehh!!
the find a appropriate place in the back of the head light to drill, from memory its under the standard head light globe.
then silicone the bulb holder on the back of headlight where u drilled, be very generous! also test fit it so you know how the parker will sit from the head on view.
then once thats done, just extended your power and ground wires to reach to your head light.
then you are done and dusted
i might do a DIY if people are interested!

Re: FRONT BUMPER
That would be handy actually as most of the people picking up the bar are going from prefecelift to facelift at the same time sohave to deal with the parkers issue.
