Think it may look smart with the rear bumpers colour coaded to match the front bumper maybe do the mirrors too.

Still not decided what to do bumper wise cos The endcaps kinda govern bumper size.

Painted bumper n mirrors would be cool...

If it were me I'd get some ends and mirrors of a tourneo , get em painted professionally and just switch them when the new one's are ready.
I'm going to colour match the dash around the clocks on mine to, but my vans going to be royal blue.
The metallic green might be a bit much for some on the dash but I could live with it.
Mines got standard grey bumpers which have been painted poorly, I have sanded the paint off and My mates going to plastic prima them and then match them to the van.
My mate knows a lot more about body work than I do and said they can be made to look like proper smooth colour coded tourneo bumpers, has anybody done this or have an opinion :?

Seen "Grainy" bumpers done before, Etch primer to get a proper adhesion to the surface of the plastic then a few coats of high build primer with plasticiser added till grain effect was gone, hand flatted between coats then topcoat they always looked mint afterwards, not a 5 miniute job but results were well worth the time :!:
