retro fit bumper running lights
« on: 08 June 2009, 22:58 »
Im looking for some running lights to retro fit into a front bumper. Dont want to buy a US Spec bumper as £200-£300 for a bumper is a joke. Looking for something to graft into my front bumper.

And yes i know i have already spent about £200 on this front bumper, and thats before its return to the body shop wednesday for a touch up. lol.

Ideas? I have looked over ebay, but not found much.

Long shot but thinking outside the box, Volvo S or V40 have them as standard, pick up a s/h bumper and cut them out then graft into yours.

Yeah. Could try something like that. I have been on Vagcat and they list them, but dont list part numbers. So im hoping if i go to VW they could hook me up, but i reckon they will be delisted.

Yeah, those volvo ones are not bad, but would want to keep it looking roughly oem.

And Khare....... i know mate :( lol O well! All in the name of fun!
