Do you guys remember this thread? Well I couldn't leave it this way...

So I picked up this:

Notice anything missing?

At £178 EACH they weren't going to be bought from a $tealer so a little ingenuity was required ???

And the end result was...

And all OEM which makes it even sweeter! Plus @ Indian discount prices of course!  :))    O:-)

Very kind chaps - thanks.  :)

Hard work - 4 weeks waiting for the bodyshop to pull their finger out! And 3 rejections...

I'm happy at this cost.

When you care as much as you (and I suspect more than a few others here) do, it HAS to be right.  More so when you're paying the bill and regardless of any 'Indian Discount'..... :)

There is no excuse for low quality.  Sorry one of my pet hates..... :-[

I might be being thick here but haven't you just put EARS on a standard bumper (nothing wrong with that) and painted the bottom bit silver?

Not that I know how the back end looks on le mans in the flesh

I'd considered doing that....fashioning stick on ears
