Letter box grills are all custom DIY jobbies. Noone makes them commercially.

**** this car is cursed lol

dual lane. truck turns very slowly left into side road. RED p plates slows down behind the truck.

then instantly decides to move into my lane where im doing 70k/hr = bang

so pissed only just got her back a bit over a month ago..

so luckly only the front bar and left hand headlight and parker have been pushed back.

grill and bonnet ok..

so question in the original top photo of my car what bumper is that as i liked it better than the one i got after the accident

cheers for any help

Probably didn't take notice straight away.

The TE-TF ones look gash IMO!

it was all that was available at the time for a second hand part as i wasnt covered with my insurance policy (third party property).

needed the car on the road asap at the time.

dont think its right to be labelling a company unless you know the FULL story sorry.. the company did an awesome job with what was available and were quite helpful. it looks good (well did before this bump).

now the insurance company is paying ill get the right part.

lol the roof..

its a daily guys. i was told a couple of extra grand to paint the entire car as its a bare metal job cause of the flacking of the paint

rather put that couple of g's towards my rx3
