I think its got the Mugen spoiler, rear bumper, and exhaust trims. Front is the GP splitter. Spent a fair whack of cash on it. Its a nice car when all cleaned etc.

Starting to get annoyed with the Lude though, damn rear bumper is body lemonade!in me off :lol: Can't find any on Ebay breakers etc, and i really don't want to get it professionally sprayed incase it turns out a different shade.

Whats wrong with you're rear bumper dude? And a professional sprayer will blend it in nicely.

Its been painted at some point, badly, looks like the wrong colour, been done by a brush, and ran out of paint :lol:

I would much rather get it painted by a pro, but it does scare me incase its a tiny bit out. Would they need to blend it with the rear quarters etc?? Or do you think they would get a perfect colour match on the bumper alone??

I should really just go speak to the guys who are local and recommended, but don't want to seem like a time waster as im not 100% convinced it would be a good match just from the colour code.

From the code it wont match because at best your paint is ~12 years old.

I'm not a painter but @RattyMcClelland is. ;)

If they have the whole car there they should match it if they're any good.
