That does look rather tasty.
I think alot of people think my lights are clear, but in fact they are smoked, just it never shows up in photos very well.
Going over to the garage today, so will get some more pics in better light.
Jamie, thanks for the shop, i think you've swung me, but i may still go for the red/smoked, still not 100%.

Mark that bumper looks too wide if that makes sense, theres one way you could fix it. Cut the bottom off and blend it onto a standard vaux bumper top. Then youd have to repaint it 
Does look odd though, thought airdams were a perfect fit

i had this problem with my old bumper....
when you take the front bumper off... on the front wings there is like a black plastic square screwed into the wing...
and the bumper locates into it... and mine did not locate in to it properly... therefore making it sit pissed on one side...
possibly worth having a look at?

My bumper has nothing on the inside to locate into these clips?
I found that odd, from what i can tell, it never has had anything there either.
May butcher a standard bumper & bond them on to mine.

Like i said that will give you the perfect bumper aslong as they line up but then you have painting costs ontop aswell

Thats what i was thinking with the bonding on of butchered bits.
Only problem is, the inside of my bumper is totally smooth on the inside, its not asif they have snapped off, they were never there.
So a fair bit of measuring will need to be done i think.
Or, cut the bits off, fit them to my wings, then stick some paint on them, fit my bumper, and bond them on where the paint lies?
Hmm, i need these clips.
