Default Auto Specialists S/S bumper inserts ??

I'm thinking of fitting these to the front bumper of my white escoz. Does anyone have them or pics of them. I'm not sure how they'd look.

I think the standard ones look better, the polished ones stand out too much. But its all down to personal taste.

I do like the carbon spoiler though, mine had one from Graham Goode but went white round the edges, so painted it matt black.

thanks for the [img] bit

& yes M.A.D.RST is right about the car its a Lux not a Monte & she was in FF so now you have seen one

i may also see what they look like with out the cosworth part in them too

the stone deflector is from creative carbon (MikeR) & hockey sticks are on the way

or copy all the photobucket links into a wordpad, then paste into the gallery

They do look nice those carbon ones, some NICE discreet sweet touches on your motor mate, not all to my taste but nice all the same it has to be said
