How much did you pay for a bumper mate? Was it new?

Yes got a new one from SEAT for £450 i think and put the old one up for £200 (no grills/fogs etc) Had so many tight mofo's offering £120 etc... In the end it sold for £170. Check my thread on Edition for the bumper and you will see the replies from time wasters.. Try to put on gumtree too mate if not already there.:D

EDIT - To be fair your bumper doesnt look that bad, would have been easy repair/repaint and job done, but seeing as your abit of a perfectionist i can see why.:lol:

BBS have been done quite a bit mate but there's no denying they are top quality wheels and at the end of the day it's all down to personal preference so get what you want to :)

I like them.

Great updates as always James. The Forge brake set up seems to get great reviews from what I've read. Reasonably priced too for the quality that you'll be getting. I've never enjoyed EBC's braking experience; I had the Reds a few years back and it took an age to to achieve a bite. I've had 3 sets of DS2500s so far and they're great IMO.

Love the wheels; they looked great on RSmith's car in crackle black, if I remember correctly. Personally, I just wish that they could achieve a better tuck, as they seem to pretrude at the front a little bit. I really like the BBS Speedlines in 19" that are fitted to some of the newer Audis.

Got to love Christmas presents... :D

I completely agree, I just think with a build like this the car deserves something a little more aggressive rather than 'showy'. Maybe something like Team Dynamics or OZ.

Like you say though it's all personal preference.

This car is epic regardless of it's wheels.
