that front bumper deletes the side markers like mine...

Question: how does the V1 rear attach to the stock bumper? Double sided tape and plastic clips?

good location, but if you're going to do outdoor shots, do them in the morning or sunset time. they'll look less washed out, more saturated, and actually show off the cleanliness of your car.

Not really feeling your car bro. The exterior doesn't seem to flow together. It's all over the place.

i do believe this is the first time a member has proudly showed off their abflug front bumper. but!! i am all about customizing your car to your tastes. so..

nice car zumn. and i really do mean it. it looks good.

you really should throw an exhaust on there though. even more than you need side skirts. which you do btw.

Looks pretty nice, though the front isn't to my taste. And I believe the first picture shows very well why I think debadging is silly, with nothing at the center there it looks a bit lifeless.

Personally I don't like the front end , rims and you need sides . There is no flow to the car. Other than that your alright .

Only my 2 cents ................................

yeah not everyone likes the ABFlug front, but i pull it off better than that grey one all over the internet!, and BTW its just a temporary front due to my crash.

Yes it deletes it, and the V1 does use double sided tape, however, i didnt re do the double sided tape i just threw it on with the old double sided for spacing, so when i want to take this one off theres no cleaning!, just 4 bolts with locking nuts each side for a total of eight bolts and locking nuts. Ill post pics of it off, tomorrow and i had mentioned in my other VEILSIDE V1 thread that i am going to make a video, because seriously the lip only took me 5 min to put on by myself. (Im serious) That probably wont be till this weekend though.

I use blue coral wash and carnabuna or whatever wax foam wash, with Meguiars Quick Wax Detailer (spray wax every month) with polishing towel, I wash, dry, and park, out of sunlight. I have 13 Pine trees in my front yard for shade.
