Well after using duct tape for months i finally had enough and took to my bumper with a hack saw. Then after that design looked terrible, i took it to a panel beater who cut it with his air saw and tidied things up to my design for free. I still have a little work to do on it but the results came out good considering that it cost me only some spray paint and some primmer to do.

Heres a pic of it as is:

I' don't know if that came out. It is a bad picture in rainy hamilton but you get the idea. This would only work if you ahd a front mount tho. Also my car is now on the lowest settings on the bilstein adjustables and this design scraps a hell of a lot less the with the middle piece in.

Anyhow, just thought i'd put this in to show that you don't have to fork out $500 plus dollar to get a new bumper if yours breaks, which is a common thing with these car esp that middle insert.

Cheers. It a work in progress.
I happen to be getting bored with the power output so am getting serious about the TDO4's and the little 17's need the toss

keep the 17's, anything larger will just slow you down! Isn't your car still on trademe though?

I got 18's and they look good but they certainly feel the bumps and you gotta be a bit careful at speed with corners. 17's are def more practical, wife has 17's on hers and they are just that bit more forgiving... and they still look good.
