Yeah, defo.

Seen loads done in the US so thought I'd do a Vento front and US spec too, it's a great look :cool:

Talking of which I have fitted bumper marker lights this afternoon.



The spring in the light holds them in place against the bumper bracket.

I have some yellow LED's that will be running lights in the front indicators that just need wiring in very soon, wish I could wire the bumper marker lights up so they are on with the running lights but then flash with the indicators :undecided:

It must be possible because US cars have their tail lights on and then one flashes as an indicator while the other stays lite!!! :undecided:

Fitted the US Spec front bumper today, ok it's not finished but the rest of the bodywork isn't yet so what the heck!!!

Need a new splitter as my VR6 one is to short, so lift the one it came with on, also found two brackets that will work for my floating number plate. Need to primer and tidy up around the marker lights, but all in all you get the idea.





Hoping to sort the distance between bumper and tarmac at the beginning of next month when my important items turn up :wink:
