Convenience being the name of the game here. Matt has a great service where he paints bumpers from his stock to your code and then a swift visit for him to swap them over while you wait. Matt then takes your bumpers in part exchange to replenish his stock. Fantastic service and it means the van isn't in the workshop for 5 days.
Bought a splitter on eBay.
One swift visit to see Matt on the way to collecting my boys for the weekend and the spec has been decided. Turns out one side of the front bumper has had a bit of a fix job on it.
Needed to decide how to replace these fins. Do I go with a stock part to replace my broken part and pay Matt for it or something a bit different. Another opportunity for some orange? I had this idea of having wire mesh as the background to the main grille. I could do the same for the broken fins. Mesh purchased and shipped to Matt. Quick discussion over a Pantone swatch card to match the orange to the orange on the rear badge. Done!!
On my next trip to collect the boys, two weeks later, diversion to Hinckley Body Wrx to have the bumpers and mirror caps fitted. Matt's done a fantastic job with my less than perfect eBay splitter. Note, if you're going to supply the splitter yourself, buy plastic. I didn't and apparently it nearly got chucked out when trying to fit. Thanks for persevering Matt.
I hope you'll agree it's starting to look the part!
