that must hurt a bit... spending that much time on it and then probs not be able to drive it. what you going to do trailer it about
I'll sort something out for it. There is no way on earth this car is going to be a trailer queen. It's made for driving

That is good to hear I'm expecting about £1k a year for it to be honest. I'll pay it, but it seems a bit silly seeing as it's only going to come out a few times a month 
New front bumper has been ordered  Cheers Tom!

Going to mould it into a post 97.
Going to replace the broken grille, get fog light grilles and fog lights. Get a splitter for it because it's not there - smooth it in because that's going to be easiest as it will need trimming. See what grille will go into the bumper best, either a Steinmetz or one of those LMF ones. I think the LMF one will match the lower grilles better personally.
I'll also smooth over the rub strips too...

Will probably fit without having to use the top half of a Corsa bumper........

looks good ed, if you could maybe, extended it another 2-3 inches, so it sits lower instead of using a splitter

Would prefer to use the splitter for it. Will give it a rounded line at the bottom and means I don't have to cut the bumper in half...

i would cut and mod it to join with the top half of a corsa bumper simply because it will leave the bumper with better more original mounting points and a better fitment to the car. and be alot easier in the long run imo

Looks like a Fiat bumper (I know it's a VW one, but it looks Fiat-y)
Should look good though

Looks similar to my Punto's front bumper, i'll give you that.
I don't like doing things the easy way. Other people will be able to do it if I do it the easy way...
