You won't regret fitting the E9 bumper, it makes a huge difference to the looks....we have just last night finished fitting an E9 bumper to our new E8...it looks so much better

Iv also been having a convo with one of the lads from over the road as he was after some ideas for a headlight intake, and convinced him to do this as he was going to cut a hole inline with the fog-light into a spare broken headlight he had as a practice. :ninja:

After he had done it properly to his good light, i asked him if i could have his knackered one for a small fee:whistling: obv he said yes, and here is the results,

I will be using the modified light for potential trackdays and when the sun is out.

Iv stolen these pics from his thread but basically the same, when i get home i just need to put the black door trim around it to make it look neater like he has in the pics :razz:

That light does look good, plenty of fresh air to the air filter, nothing a cold air feed can't supply with the ic spray out.

Where you getting your rear e9 bumper from mate, wouldn't mind getting one lol

You decide on keeping the mirrors?

 

[Evo8Frankie]

Aye it sure does i said i =f i gave him abit more than what he was asking for would he keep them so good deal really,

No mate i swapped them with Stallion for some standard items

 

[Evo8Frankie]

Well i went home for a long weekend, and when i got home there was a few packages waiting for me.

IX Front Bumper off Rascal and IX GSR Rear Seats of Will G. just need to get the rear bumper and IX GSR door cards and front seats now.

The bumper needs some work in terms of sanding and filling ect but im going to do most of the work myself then get the sprayer to paint it for me
