Front bumper needs a paint, the bull bar makes it look dull.

the front bumpers ok really, I had it powder coated when it was on the road - in the same gloss black as the bars, it just needs a wipe down and a little spit and polish,

I know, it should come up well, I think I'll drop it forward a touch, I'll try and get the number plate vertical and it should line up better with the bumper then, I didn't realise how close it would be to the flared samurai arches, but it should be fine when the bars are a bit further forward, I need to move house so I can get on with the welding repairs,
