Fli eye effects the strength of light that shines though, but the light remains solid. Whereas an anal MOTer could argue mesh in front of an indicator is an obstacle. All depends on the gauge of mesh as well.

I'm just suggesting it makes sense or brooz to clear it with his MOTer if he has a regular MOTer first to save y messing about.

Thanks for all the info and advice guys - decided to have a crack at changing the bumper today. Followed this nice clear guide :http://www.preludeonline.com/f89/write- ... cs-132194/
Got on great till step 3 when I was defeated by a spinning bolt and rain. Hacksaw tomorrow....
Here's a before pic anyway :-)

My mot guy was happy provided the indicators were nice and bright, bit of a struggle but I got there in the end - quite a lot of cable ties involved. The turn signals show through the small gaps just below the headlights.
Also successfully swapped my obd2 out for a chipped p72 :-) quite a productive weekend by my standards.
Thanks for all the advice btw guys.

With your image code, replace "url" with "img" and you're set mate ;-)

Bumper looks like a beard :lol:
