BillyBoy has done it too 8) Matthew if you move the handle to the other side, it probably wouldn't look right when the doors are closed... :?

I preferrred the MK6 bumper to be honest mate but it does look different. I like what you've done with your van. Looking for inspiration for mine.

I like the rounded shape of the red front bumper, I think it suits the rounded nature of a smiley. I am thinking of doing something similar to mine. But with that red bumper I would make it sit further back so the front of the bumper is flush with the smiley grill. Looks better than the MK6 one.... :D

I thought that would be the reaction tbh :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol: Only thing i was gonna do tho is add a splitter, nothing to ott but enough to stop it looking so rounded. Anyways the other bumper was knackered so i binned that so if this goes its back to the drawing board :twisted: i have plenty more ideas its just time at mo as i'm seriously lacking any :(

i went for the long nose one cause of the different headlights but you would be able to fit the standard short nose bumper as well

yes mate the short nose model bumper is a bit squarer and they are quite cheap and easy to come by. Also ther are a few companys that do half decent aftermarket ones if you want something a bit different. I was quite surprised at what a good fit they are as well :D

cheers matey :D Very easy it fits over the top of the mk5 bumper with a few mods and then just bond it on. It'll need a bit of fettling to make it fit the arches perfectly but i can sort that later :mrgreen:

my sentiments exactly, just what to do exactly. I was actually thinking of making an mdf valance and splitter then making a mould of it so i could replicate it in fiberglass. mesh in the middle and a few spots round the bottom i reckon it would look a treat :D
