The plan is to have it compelely hidden and the cut out in the bumper filled

Bit more stealthy and one less thing to clean lol

Made a start fitting my us rubstrip today
A lot easier said then done lol

I got one side lined up only to notice it was to short

So the plan is was to cut the extra out of my old one and extend the us one

Pic of one side lined up



Pic of extra bit glass fiberd in place



So the plan is to start rubbing it down tomorrow add a bit of filter and away I go

I'm also in the process of colour coding the rub strips all round

So the side markers are in different places on each side?

No after I noticed it was to short I centred it then added the extra bits on each side
