I wondered on that.I thought you were going to combine the GTT and GTI ones,when I saw you'd bought a bodykit.

thanks for the coments guys    and nadgtt the golf bumpers have gone in skip i cut them and adjusted them to fit but they looked good when you were looking straight at them but looking from the side the bumper step out to much and it didnt suit the 5 at all saw there gone and eventually im guna get a gt lump in anyways or 2.0 16v clio engine witha blower on it  :twisted: saw just got the phase 2 kit which im glad i did now    anyways an update the shell has been sprayed. laquer/clear coat tomorow

Nice work.  
I'm going to be following this with interest,as I'm going down the same route of converting a Campus,but keeping the stock body and badges.I'm going the Turbo route,for the lightweight of the lump,but have considered other options  :wink:
