Thanks for the info on lights, got a pair off eBay so they should be here tomorrow, also got a pug 405 spray bar in the post thanks to a reminder someone posted on the Facebook page about wanting one, with regards to the splitter, how hard is it to remover when the bumper is still on the car ?

Main reason for wanting it off is it would do with a lick of paint, I tried black trim polish but it doesn't really cut the mustard, also looking for a new front bumper as mines cracked and both corners have been scraped (pervious owner) I'm generally looking at straightening out a few of its cosmetic issues

Ooo thanks for that Rx, so to fit the black fog mountings I just cut out the blades in the same place as my current bumper and they should clip into place right ?

I just used a hacksaw blade - it must be easy as even I can do it. It's also a good idea to use a small screw just to secure them as - after 20 years of wear - I don't trust their ability to stay put.
