the cheapest is ETS racing *think* I got mine for about £30. Not the easiest to fit - but a good job for the price

Here's mine - (yes, I know the stickers aren't in the "official" place - trying to be different!!)

They clip in. Yes, covering standard fogs. GF?

Problems fitting - umm me being a numptie, when rivetting in the clips, I put them on the wrong way round!!!
I modded mine by drilling a small hole in the bottom recess in the bumper - just below the foglight (there's three clips - 2 @ top, 1 @ bottom. The 2 top have recess holes. The bottom one doesnt) to clip it into place.

Apart from that, they don't come painted. You have to sand down to smooth, prime and paint. Easy to do - I did it!!!

Little Knocks do some imitation ones. Think they clip in but because they are plastic replicas they are dead cheap.

Have a look at the website and give Chris a call (very helpful guy!) and tell him you it through Scoobynet and he will give you a discount.

http://www.littleknocks.co.uk/

Not affiliated with him in any way, just did a good jobs when coulour coding my sides etc. Fellow Scooby Nuts too so well worth the call.
