Time for a face lift

Today’s weather window finally allowed me time to fit the face lift front bumper to my FL2.
It wasn't too hard but the worst part is getting a good fit where the bumper meets the wings as none of the original fittings match so some bodging needed here to get them to meet neatly.
I also have the dynamic front spoiler to fit next as have skirts and rear one fitted

Yes Nut but when you are sat in it driving its immaterial really and the money and time involved may be needed to keep them running as it won't add real value just pleasure.

So if you are escaping the wife and the kids by getting on with a project or two go for it. Laughing FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Re: Time for a face lift

Great improvement Thumbs Up
The way the FL2 should've always looked IMO
(instead of the "dropped down" grill look on the original models ..... btw, no disrespect intended to 'original' owners.) Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.
