I have just finished rubbing down the laguna splitter I am fitting to my new bumper which I get back next week. Got the finish I wanted to.
Used your everyday multi surface primer, Matt black plastikote and ontop black wax oil stone chip spray which gave the finish.
Here's some pics.

Nice one with the new bumper

Can you get a good picture of the back location of the struts into the bumper IE up down variations before fitting

Would be a great help for me trying to align my new bumper

Found out the right hand side brackets nut is missing so had to make do with a couple of cables ties. And as the old one was about to fall off I had to get it on even though the bracket receivers haven't turned up yet so for now just a random size of washers for now. The paint match I am so happy with. Just need to clean it now after gettin grease everywhere cause of my E'fing and blinding antics trying to fit a new nut in the most awkward of places lol. Here's the Pics.

The old with no bolts holding it on lol.

Fooked or what lol

Not a bad looking panel
Had to turn these 90degrees as the old bumpers wy was different????
Didn't have to adjust anything.
And here we are.

Will have better pics soon as sun light was shite and crappy IPhone pics lol)


How y'all like
