New Bumper (S1)

After many years driving around with an internally damaged OEM bumper due to a small crash that involved a curb, I finally got a new bumper installed and the front right fender fixed (had a few dents from the crash).

I am not a big fan of large or exaggerated features and wanted to keep the car clean so I went with the Shine AutoExe SE-02 replica bumper. I couldn't be happier, the car looks way cleaner and the bumper matches perfectly with the rest of the lines.

Now for some mesh or grilles and an emblem.

Cheers!

Chris

Quick question regarding the bumper...

would it be possible to ask you for a measurement of the bumper from the bottom of the clear corner to the bottom of the bumper??

...trying to do some research

It is 18-18.25" measured vertically.

I lost my fog lights when I switched to the new bumper so I had been looking at other options. I still don't have grills made for the new bumper but I found an alternative for the fog lights. I hooked them up so they are on all the time when the key is on. Pictures do not do them justice, in person you can see each individual Dot just like on the Audis... they are also very white with a slight hint of blue (not greenish like on some of the pics)...and they really make a different at night...

Cheers!

Fitment was alright but by no means perfect. My body guy did a lot. Not necessarily with the edges but more to make sure it looked even from all angles and fit correctly.

Where did you get the lights? They look nice. I don't have fog lights and have been looking for an alternative.
