Have to say, I really really did like the 5th gen mugen front bumper, especially with the projectors.
Will look alot better once its all sprayed the correct colour though

IMO the thing that looks odd and always has done is those gash egay headlights. Remove them.
The Mugen looked good but i prefer it genuine style with the silver badge area and indi/fog recesses.
But the OEM looks great. Just needs Nitins retrofit projectors.

I have been talking to JDM-BB4 about him painting the inside of my OEM lights black and putting them back on.

I had to stick the new bumper on as the Mugen was about to fall off and im taking this on track tomorrow. Couldnt have the Mugen fly off and either me or someone else drive over it :lol:
