Just saw this on fleabay. Is that a UK spec bumper, with the long plate aperture and fog lights? If so, must be worth 99p of anyones money. Can\'t be many of them about, surely?

Might have to get that - thinking of returning my silver uk FD completely back to stock (at some point it\'s had a jap rear bumper)

For some reason I prefer them others dont, so I guess it\'s only worth something if someone wants one!

I like the way the fogs are intergrated into the design rather than being a floppy bodged on afterthought like mine is, but don\'t like the long thin plate. Maybe if it\'d been red I\'d have had a punt...

The only downside is that one fog light is actually a blank so you still only have one fog light.... (the left one is the blank)

That\'s odd! Are you only allowed one fog light then? Kinda makes me wonder why they didn\'t just replace one reversing light with a fog then, or delete the reflector bits and use the lights by the plate as one fog, one reverse. Constructions and Use manuals must be the size of Cathedral Bibles with all the obscure regulations they seem to have!

No, you\'re allowed 2 fog lights, i have 2 on the BMW.  I dont know why they only put one on some to be honest...

I guess if you really wanted 2 then you could just splice into the feed from the working one & if you didnt want to cut into the left hand indicator you could get one from America?

I hadn\'t noticed the leftie was a blank till the other day, bodyshop (where it still is :2Confused) took it out to see if the lead was connected and I neally slapped myself when I realised :Giggle
