Default Front mount fitted

Just thought I'd put up a pic of my front mount and face lift bumper which I had to paint first, what a t##t of a job
Also fitted tein pillow ball top mounts to my standard struts, what a difference they make

I havent sorry, you should be able to leave enough for the fogs to be fitted but I got to the point where it had to be finished so I completely removed the lamp pods

Thats apparently all done ready.

Got any links to where you got the fmic, seen some on fleabay, but don`t wanna buy crap, but also not spend too much.
