Colour of the trim looks good.
Ok then well update time, my mate dropped the bumpers off at my house this eves and lent a quick hand putting the front one and fitting the grill on just to get a couple of pictures of them fitted and check that i do actually like them haha!
Before he came round though i took a bit of time just changing a couple of waterpipes which hadnt fit properly for ages and Lee H cheers dude, managed to dig a couple of the pipes out that i needed so once i had them fitted, after quite an epic coolant spillage i got on to fitting my recently acquired ashley manifold!
A quick picture comparing the ashley manifold to the standard one, the bore on the pipes seems quite a lot larger and were the pipes collect together is also substantially fatter,

Personally i love the colour and the finish on them is top notch, big thanks to my mate for painting them for me and advising and doing most of the prep haha! I still need to line it up 100% but just put it on for now to see how it looks, also do people think i need to paint the piece of metal that goes from slam panel to cross member black or something? I think it might just be showing up because the cameras flash is on the car, opinions on that? I havent fitted the back on yet as my f*****g topmounts still havent come from GAZ, but htey have promised they will arrive tommorow so fingers crossed.
I think to get a proper idea on the bumoers i need the car out in daylight up on the road or something to take the whole car in and get a true idea, but for now i'm well happy :cool:
Cheers for looking and let me know what you think, good or bad?
They do look better then i thought they would mate, and i would paint the brace black my self, as i hate seeing them through the grill.
All looking good though mate, hope your mounts turn up so you can get the wheels on to see the full effect.

That's looks really awesome !
Bumpers look really good in that shade of gray.
Looks really well fella, Did you remove the lower valance trim?
As these have a habbit of holding/trapping water, causing the inevitable:(
Cheers for the comments everyone,yeah valance trim was removed matt,the bumper wouldn't go on with this fitted!
Wooooo topmounts have also come now so might crack on with those after :)
