Looks good

Did you modify the original one or did you buy it somewhere? I want one too...

Yes it did and it was blended into the bumper, i think the bumper had a slightly bigger hole aswell. Was looking at this vid of it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00PLg...related&search

ALso noticed the grills where mesh and the side skirts are twisted looking like mk5/6 RS2000 and the two lines that run along the middle of the side of the car one continues onto the rear bumper... and my last geek thing I noticed is the dummy exhaust hole the other side of the bumper is upside down
