stuck on a front euro bumper today (lots of pics)

[kronus]

Got the front swap done today (I don't have a rear euro bumper yet, and my hands were itching to do something). It's on a US valence for now, but I'll switch over to a euro
whenever I find one.

Before:


During:

modifying the blinker harnesses:


After:

this side was as high as I could get it:




Until I get a euro valence, I'll probably cut holes into the US one to fit in the foglights. It remains unclear whether I'll be able to pull it off without looking ghetto.

Anyway, that's really it for now. Going to pick up Kopis tonight :D

What do you guys think?

Marlboro, central NJ. You?

Drifty - thanks sir!

Backtrail - did I give birth to an Mtech lip I was not aware of? Or is the euro lip I have an Mtech piece?

Was it difficult or pretty straight forward?

Easy if you have all the needed hardware. It's also a lot easier when you already have the proper blinker plugs - it's then a simple splice, blue to blue, brown to brown. If you don't have the euro plugs, I don't even know what you can do. Some sort of wingle-wangling is definitely possible, though.

Levent, it was easy. straight forward except for the rear which took me a while to figure out. I'd be willing to offer my help but i'll be in VA beach for memorial weekend.

Washed them today. Two need to be rebalanced and one of those two needs to be looked at, it has a leak coming from the bead.




These wheels came off the Dinan e30 that wrecked a couple months ago. I can already see that keeping them clean will be a full-time job.

Those are from the new batch, right?

[scabzzzz]

Levent, very straight forward. If you need help call me.

PO, sent you a PM.

Yeah, 5-lug casting, drilled for 4x100. I'm going to put them on (leak turned out to be a bad seal that got cleaned and is perfect now :)) and see if it bothers me enough to get centercaps.
