Looking nice Walter, were there any out-of-the-ordinary fitting problems, or just the usual stubborn bolts etc.?
Cheers, Pete

The VST-bumper finally left Japan and is on it's way to the old continent.

Always loved the VST front bumper, as seen on the Swede Demon. Could never find anyone in the UK able to get me one. Too late now. lol
Ok,my mateys,she's back,painted,fitted the vst,back bumper,removed the rear trim(strip between the glass and trunk,placed a rubber mat on the back bumper(xc,for the dogs) and looking lovely,if i may say so myself.
Will post some pics tomorrow.

Loving the look of the rear tailgate with the strip under the window removed, mine needs to come out so I can re paint the tailgate, may just follow your example (if you don't mind that is).
