Looks ok, the washer jet covers are on the wrong side and upside down IIRC....not that it matters though!

Looks good.

Nope they are exactly how they should be - they pop up when used (although in Jason's case they arent connected)

No, they really are the wrong way round.

Hmm, either way, reckon they want colour coding hehe - I had to cut my old vRS bumper up as it was shot to pieces after the accident. Guess I'll have to get another one, one day. For now, Jason's one will do the job - assuming I can get the number plate on nicely

Please excuse my ignorance, but did you buy the bumper like that, or mod it yourself?? The more I see it, the more I wanna FMIC! It looks awesome!

Looks good mate!

Sorry to hijack but when did you smoke your back lights?

Ive put mine back to standard now.

Shifty another way to finish the edge off is to put a door seal around it, very oem looking

Silver is sooooo boring :P

You know, the washer jets could be well be on ar5e about face, but I took them out the boxes forgetting they were specific to a side, and after offering them up to the holes in various ways, swapping over left to right, going up & down, etc - I thought the way I glued them down was the best looking way. :P

wow!! thats looking mint mate!!

I do like the look of your car mate, the bumper is spot on

Courtesy of Mort - what do you think of this variation - no grille at all just mesh:

not sure about that bas, but each to their own.

Jas - What a monster!!! looks the mutts doo-dahs! was toying with the idea of the open mouth but as a few peeps have done it, i'll need to think of something else lol lol

Are there any figures to show the difference in effectiveness of the FMIC with and without the open mouth modification done?

Just wondering if it makes a huge difference or not?

Did it with and without bumper on and to be honest it was negligable as its fairly free flowing air anyway, wasnt done for that purpose but interesting to check the results since we were there.

Looking good Jas...

Having just received some pics from Shifty's 'front end' - I reckon have a custom crash bar as per Shifty's + doing silver as per Jason's would give me an excellent mix.

I want a 'standard' number plate so that will also be a factor

Will see what I can find in the future

How do you open the bonnet as doesn't the catch pop out?

Dogs and ****** spring to mind! Looks lush mate!

Catch still pops out in the original spot. There's a plastic framed hole in the grille mesh (which you can't really see as it's been colour coded in black to merge in with the mesh )

VW evolo wheels. Had them on my first fabia when I had a slight incident. Thankfully fairly rare wheels and I've only seen the wheels on one other fabia before, and I ended up buying those wheels off him!

Now that takes me back:D

You have the dubious honour of scraping me off the tarmac!

:eek: - It's good to see you got out tbh Jas... Car doesn't look so lucky...

That would have been a likely candidate for the mongrelling had I not done that to it.

Funny you should mention that, I've just changed cars yet again and will have another set of Evolos for sale in the very near future! I've got one a bit like your Dad's now.

Back to topic, car looks spot on with the new bumper.

does the number plate holder just pop out ? or does it have to be cut away from the bumper ?

just curious for the future

Imagine having that;)
