finally got the raised air intake installed! couldnt have done it without simon and @PowerfulUK!

 

Installed the chequer plates. Thank you @nashvegas for the quick shipping!

 

@MattF DUDE !!!!!!! Yer welcome. Those look really good. Kudos. Looks great with the blue, the BFG's + steelies and the matte trim along the wheel wells. Will also protect your rear doors from the paint gnashing rocks that kick up .

 

Tow Loops Installed

Preparation - wanted to give myself a little extra crawling space.



Disassembly - thanks to Simon at PowerUK and for the contributions on this site. The pillow was there incase I wanted to take a nap.


Reassembly - I think having two people to refit the bumper would have been a dream. I simply leveraged one of my alternate personalities.



I ordered the checker plate tow loop surrounds. They didn't really fit that well. I needed to us the heat gun to encourage them to conform to the shape of the bumper and stick. I don't think I'd be surprised to find them fallen off in the future.


Overall love the outcome. It's about 1 1/2 hour job first time through. Quicker once you've been through it. Took me about 2 hours as I rounded out a screw and had to fix that.

Matt

 

God damn. Red loops and white letters. I flipping love it. Wanted both, have neither.

 

I did not have the ***** to go red Matt but man did it turn out well for you! I saw the checked ones looking much more thicc and worried about that problem myself, glad the heat gun came in to save the day.

 

This past weekend I also installed the red tow hooks but with red surrounds. Some how I don't have a picture of the finished work, will post that later, but here is a pic with the bumper off.


I also installed the reverse lights and extended wheel arches from PowerfulUK.

 

First upgrade done, cherry popped. Super fast delivery from Simon and the gang, and really impressed in the quality of the product:



Super easy to put together the plinth and the lights. Crimps were a breeze

Drivers side done! Noticeably brighter on the back up camera and surrounding area. Super excited for the modification and highly recommended.

Now, time to go, sit behind the car, while somebody reverse that me and stare at my brilliant work.

 

Nice work! This is next on my list. Actually should have been first.

and I agree the products arrive super fast from Simon.
