It costs £172.50 which I think is a good price and fingers crossed in 2 weeks you can see what it looks like on my car lol

Image been doing a few bits to the car over the weekend. I was not happy the the passenger side of the bumper so took it back down and got some fiberglass matting and put that over it and sanded it put some filler over it and shape it and it has given it more of a curve and once finished i think it will look nice:mrgreen:Image
