Don't know about that lol, tbh the first one is hardest as I had no measurements etc to make another off that one would take half the time as it was on off weld, repaeat 1000 times! Don't know what its took to that stage in time, but its only £28 think it was in steel, where do they get the nearly 1k price tag? I'm just wondering weather to put the tow loop thingys on like the oem ones?

Hello all,

New to the site. Just bought a blue facelift LeMans on Friday, and it's amazing! Few upgrades in the future will be white angel eyes to replace the yellow ones (found few on ebay), and possibly headrest screens (any recommendations). And the best mod I have seen on these is the Underride protection bar. But you all are right, the price is not on. So spoke to a guy who brought some angel eye lights from Japan, and asked him to find out if they do the bar. Will keep you all posted. Shadrack, beautiful job. Can I put my name to the list for one please, in case Japan doesn't pan out. OR provide the dimensions so I can try a fabricator in Essex. Take lots of pics. Nice to meet you all!
