New front lip and bumper

Post by vanzep » Mon Dec 31, 2012 3:59 pm

First look at the new front bumper and lip for my 4th gen
All part of the plan to turn my lude back to full milano red
Decided to go with gloss black for the spoon lip as im contemplating going for black lip kit all round :?
hope it works out ok :x

This is still my favourite lip for the 4th Gen. Used to love the bubble kit but this tops it.

Good job mate 8-)

Any chance you mean different to this? :| ...

So that bumper above is just a temporary fix in the mean time?

yes different to that - the big mouth bumper has a defined section that looks like a lip - there would be a gap where there isnt a lip in the middle section

i thought i might change things up a bit with the new bumper and lip amd keep the ww bumper as back up in case i change my mind :lol: :roll: :lol:
