what blue paint did you use mate for your wheels, looking to my banded steelies in the same colour as them.

i used a fluorescent neon blue paint got it from ebay like 10 (200ml) cans for about £15 but the paint wasnt very good to be honest but i think if you do it on nice hot sunny day and do loads light coats should be fine, i did it in cold and damp weather so reacted a bit so ended up rubbing them down lightly and going over them with a fluorescent blue paint from halfords and then gave them a coat of gloss laquer but need to give them a couple more coats and i will be happy.

blue suits it to a tee. :) HURRY UP though :p
should hopefully be balanced and on by end of tomo and caps should arrive tomo aswell but will need to get them sprayed to match

got the bumper off of ebay and really easy to fit tbh, hardest parts was getting the ceter grille to fit and get the olf fog grilles off the old bumper to take fog lights out as i didnt want to damage anything incase i went back to standard. i got it for £150 with the 2 fog grille sections but when it arrived it had damaged a little and one of the grilles were cracked so complained to seller and got £50 refund :), if you buy one its worth getting one with all the grille sections as the 2 fog ones are £52 for the pair and the main center grille is £72 lol so not cheap.

as for number plates i got them off of ebay and i have never been stopped and if i did its ok as they ahve all of the correct codes and name of company thats made them.
