I got your pm, I am trying to persuade the missus at the moment, she has the hump with me for bidding on a Mk2 Astra Gte...  :rolleyes:

If you go for fitting it, please let us know how that goes for you. (As in...how much work does it take, is it a straight fit or does it require a fettling job etc.)

Think it'll look better on the car with the coloured bumper, and as I said in the thread I'm not cutting up the bumper so I can still run an oem splitter if I don't like this one.
