Previous front bumper was damaged in one corner (From my crash a few years back) so I had decided to replace it... Did it at the weekend.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/vdubhub/a_temp/VW/14-06-2004%20-%20Carbon%20Airdam%20fitted.jpg

Carbon airdam from LA Performance.
Blacked out indicators from CSP.
Foglights from local boy racer shop, fitted with 130watt bulbs.

Airdam is a nicer fit than the kamei one, and gains me about a half inch of ground clearence (every little helps!)
Did require me to work out my own mounting, not a problem... Used 4 8mm bolts with repair washers (to spread the load).
The bottom sides of the airdam are tied back into the wings with threaded rod, prevents any flexing at speed.

Painted the bumper in the back garden with 2 pack :D

Cya,
Sam C

PS. anyone wanna buy a kamei airdam?

[super vw]
