Just need to try and translate the site now His English is spot on! The stuff I bought needed work but it's looking great on the car, Oc member Bennyk prepped and painted my stuff, it looks the nuts!!! VR6CABBS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
D1BBZ 17 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's good to know I'll send him a message later. I'm looking for a body shop to do the work on mine at the minute as my local guy moved to Devon. I read through BennyK's build thread it was impressive, where's he based?

D1BBZ 17 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I presume I will need a US spec splitter to go with it. Is there anything else I will need? Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 You'll need to get the lower grilles as they're a slightly different shape to euro spec. Also, if you want, you could get the us indicators, they clip straight in as opposed to the euro spec ones have to be screwed into the bumper. Beware, the rear number plate tubs are plastic and can be very brittle. My mountings fell to bits when the bootlid was stripped for paint prep, fortunately, Bennyk is a bit of a whizz when it comes to repairing stuff. Unless you want to delock the boot, make sure the you receive that part too, it's very easy to change the lock tumblers over so your key works. I'm not 100% on the front splitter but I have the US one fitted. Don't expect that to be mint though, they all seem a little battered and bruised.

D1BBZ 17 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure weather to go for the US bootlid but might buy one just to try it out Link to post Share on other sites
