Yeah so far the Euro Sport badge, and Euro Tails, I'm going to do the bumper change over some time in aug / sept this year, I have to save up for the body work ( rebar trimming ) and painting of the rear bumper for then, but so far my mod budget is going not going anywhere, other then getting a " 2.0 " badge for the trunk, and I'm waiting on the remaining items to arrive, such as the Euro Focus Badge from the UK, and the radio bezel from Germany.

this is what the rear looks like, has not changed much since I took it in early jan, other then addition of the Ghia Crests.

well I had to undo the side skirts at the front end a bit to attach the ferders, so I have to get some more double sided tape to do this, I want to take off the passenger side one to do a repair to the paint as I kinda left it from when my brother in law curbed it a bit...... :rolleyes: No worries though it's all cosmetic.

Well the addition of Facelift fogs ( after about 7 months of not having them ), new Euro badging ( front & rear doors ), euro fenders with repeaters, euro washer bottle ( hidden under the driver's side fender ) & I painted the surround on the grille.

Wow, you have one of the nicest sedans I have ever seen. Good job on all that body work. How dificult was the install of the front bumper?

Looking good! Can't wait for a g2g to see it in person!

not really hard at all, I just took off the front crash foam and just pushed the new bumper cover into place, it's a tight fit I'll tell you, but I didn't do any rebar trimming. There will be a small bump in the inside of the foglight holes from the rebar, but it's so far back that they are hidden by the fog's & surrounds, more or less it's a small ammount of grinding you'd have to do, I was afraid of setting off the air bags if I did anything to the rebar, so it's why I just left it.
