    Thoughts? Advice? What next?

    Took some pics of my ill fated project today. Thought I'd get some opinions on where to go next after I get the thing running well...

    A good polish should sort that. Yeah I know it's hideous.

    Get a new set of fog lights
    Fit a new bumper
    Paint the battery tray black
    And repair the near side

    Good list

    Any thoughts on the intercooler? A standard bumper would have it sticking out underneath right?

    I think it might be best to take the bumper off and have a look how big the cooler actually is. As even some of the larger ones still fit behind the bumper

    Plenty of room behind the bumper.

    Should sit behind a standard bumper the same as this :
