It was a part from a kit that appears on E Bay from time to time and is simply an apron for the bottom of the bumper

Maybe you should ask "does my bummer look big in this?"

Certainly looks like a custom fit Alan, I like it a lot

that looks good, keeps reminding me that i want to get my kit on.

just waiting for a rainy day so that i don't have to farm. fog lights first then body kit.

my aim is to have it all on for wales, how likely that is depends on how much rain we have between now and next friday.   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:? :? s:?

You are quite correct,,,that was the only part I was unhappy with,,,but apparantly it is a common problem thet the TTE pipes never seem to stick out the same distance.
Unless of course someone had a solution  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Post by: alancdavis on August 14, 2007, 19:13
Total cost was not bad either,,,£90 for the bumper extension and £150 to paint and fit

And as that famous comedy duo said  "you cant see the join "

Im sure that front lip does not fit the facelift bumper though, covers the fog lights iirc?

Post by: Anonymous on September 30, 2007, 19:50
So have you got the TTE full package now?! Front bumper yet? Because i'd really like to see some more shots!

I'm wondering what the side skirts and the rear bumper extension would look like with the TTE parts ... umm!

Alan,

You know you can't get away without revealing your sources for these parts to me - I am such a copy cat: rear bumper extension, titanium heater panel, now I want TTE front bumper - where, how much, etc?

Please   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

this is the ms design bodykit/copy yes? the same one that i myself bought from ri_ha...

can i confirm that you guys just used the tte twin pipes without any welding etc to get such a fine fit?

It is the MS Design rear yes. However, while Alan's TTE tips fitted, my TTE's sat too narrow compared to the cutouts, so I ended up going the H&S custom build route. So I suspect you'll need to trial fit the extension before committing.

Pic shows H&S 4" round tips, which just about fit in cutout.

May be you need to mesh the bottom bit like mine ??????????????,,,,,just to finish it off    s:) :) s:)

Thinking black mesh, to match that in my TTE front bumper, and also the other bits n bobs (inserts, upper grill etc) in the rear bumper.
