it's easy cause all u need is the mould of the inside of wide bumper. if u look at the inside of the psg2 wide bumper u will see the extra bit fitted to make the bumper wider. then u need to cut the top corners of the bumpers so u can strech the non-wide bumper and re-fill the gap.

wouldn't attempt it if your not good with fibreglass or filler

i am getting pretty good with fibreglass and filler, but it's all a learning curve right?

I'm willing to give it a shot.

Mo - I'm a little confused you saying that i need to cut off the corners of the front/rear wide arch bumpers and attach to the bumpers i actually want?

or could construct on my own? i mean how much wider is the psg2 kit?

I've found wezjax's garage who has done it, however he seems to of left CS

the back bumper will got straight on - no mod's needed.

the front bumper will have to be widend so it's meets the wide arches.

what i'm trying to say is slit the corners of the non-wide bumper the strech to make it fit with arches, then fill the gap u created from streching the bumper.
