I like it, it goes well with the swamper look.

I've had very similar ones from the factory on my XC70 and it really helps protect from mid and grit if that's common where you drive - keep wondering if I should do the same on the Caravelle but that already has the from factory chrome bling strip there...
If you do it you're going to want to go black on the rear bumper I think?

Make sure you treat any tiny spots of rust that will be under those, rust loves being hidden! RT is right about the back bumper, it looks a little unfinished from the side?
I've always liked the swamper look but when I bought it there was the gloss black roof and the rear spoiler so it's kinda swamper but not fully if you know what I mean so being different with the white bumper would suit me lol
Looked at the black front and rear bumpers. I do like them but think the boss would say it's too much lol
Looks like it really needs commercial bumpers
In last week or so removed the running boards and sportline type aftermarket bumper the previous owner thought we’re classy. No accounting for taste, but pretty much de-spivved it now. But today I opened the pano roof and am sitting in Henley on Thames enjoying it.
I will, if they're H7's?
Fitted a passenger swivel seat base I picked up from Jennings the other month. Nice and easy, only 4 bolts to take the seat off.
What time does your local refuse centre open in the morning?!
A load of cutting and fitting 3030 aluminium profile. This may look like a Meccano set gone wrong, but it's actually going to be my folding, slide out bed!
I can see why people use this, it's fast, easy and you can put together a complex frame in a few hours. Well, aside from the cost of course!
And the mess. My god those aluminium chippings go EVERYWHERE!
Tomorrow will be finishing off the frame then fitting the bed slats.

Ha! I put mine on the other day, they're just a bit too big aren't they! My original is in the engine bay, no chance of putting the new one in there! DVLA really messed me around, but I did end up with 'van with windows' on the V5.
Near us there is a massive Sunday boot sale at the football stadium: went this morning and bought a used small telly (£4), a new wall mount (£3) and an indoor aerial (£2). All now fitted in the van and working for a grand total of £9! Forgot to add: you can slot dvds in the side of it too!
