Thanks :D and yeah it was the step on the back of a LWB sprinter van that hit it..a jdm bumper would look epic but not got the money for one just yet and secondly they don't come up for sale very often

So then,seeing as i made a start on the rear bumper bump strip i thought i would do the rest all around including the front bumper grill to that was colour coded along with the bumper bump strips,used a can of satin black,and i have to say it has made a HUGE difference to the front end

Rear bumper fitted back up:

Sides done and fitted back on:

Is there a good way of removing the bump strips from the doors? I ruined one last time trying to pull it off without taking the door card off and pushing the clips through

Good job on the paint :) I'm contemplating on, either color-code the strips, color-code them and add them classic SiR red stripe, or remove the strips and go with the Kanjo look.

Mine are the way yours are now. By the way, the car could use a JDM bumper :P
