yeah it keeps adding up, the bumper was gonna cost £190 to be repaired and sprayed and new mesh fitted, so i thought if i get it repaired how long until i catch it and crack it again? to get over speed bumps i have to come to a complete stop then crawl over it any sort of speed like even rolling and it just catches, so i decided 172 front end is the way forward but mod it a little to match the car,

this will be the last amount of money i spend on the exterior as i need to save up for the rest of my house deposit hehe

"headlamp washer jets"

wouldn't bother with them mate! IMO they don't do anything and will only leak!
