Hi there, i dont think ive seen your car before on this forum! I really like it, is that the 16V sides, spoiler and rear bumper with the AMG Gen 2 Front bumper... can i just ask - what did you do the the fog lights in the bumper, they look great... I love the wheels too!!!!

Newbie Posts: 26 Group: Members Member #2,624 Joined: May 7, 2008	Bart - Thanks for the compliments! All that is correct, except the rear bumper. It started off as a Lorinser, then I hacked it apart, made it narrower, removed the top half, and bonded some original door cladding to it, then mated it to the stock rear bumper. Quite complicated to explain. As for the fogs, that is how I found them (BOSCH). I got the bumper with the fogs at the scrap yard (had to repair and repaint the bumper). The fogs are mounted with thick clear plastic as I did not have all the original mounting brackets. Also, your car looks spectacular!
