That is my final plan for the front - Need to sort engine mounts and the oil cooler hoses first also got a new rear spoiler to get sprayed/fitted. Also plans are afoot for satin black wheels:

Only one I've seen is a Grimmspeed one which fits into the towing eye - or looking at it you have Mesh Grill on the fog could you bolt through the mesh with a large washer on the back?

I'm thinking of adapting something like this to fit my bumper...

I think that'll be too big and actually bigger than the height of the plate, but I had a play today and that is where I'm thinking of any mounting point, offsetting the plate so it moves towards the FMIC only covering up to the weld on the end plate.

Mines the scoobyworld one, personally I'd avoid GRP as they tend to crack, or best bet go genuine, otherwise mine will be for sale soon.

Looking really good! I have a BugEye and have always wanted to add a lower mesh grill and possibly change the upper grill for a mesh one, where did you get yours from? I noticed you had chrome and black ones, or were they the same ones re-sprayed?

My lower Grille is a Zunsport - was stainless then sprayed black - you can get black as std.
The upper grille is custom as nobody makes on for the JDM grille - can't remember where from but the mesh was bought on eBay and is exactly the same as the Zunsport.

Not sure where it came from but the spoiler is an Orcari item as are the side skirts. They are bloody good but the fitting is costly as you need holes in the top of the boot lid welded up as well.

Few issues at Brents Southern Motor Developments) in that the Headers(GT Spec) didn't fit as they fouled the sump - will be looking into this soon but in the mean time on std ported headers:
Also had an issue with the wideband not working hence the over-fuelling - Turned the wideband correction off for the time being until I've traced the fault, hoping it's just a dislodged wire!
