Yesterday my Vento bumper finally arrived! I was amazed at how fast it got here since Dimitri had only shipped it on Friday. Along with the bumper, Dimitri sent me all of the other parts he had already replaced with my US pieces.

My box of Belgian goodness included:

• Vento textured top bumper
• Vento CL front lip
• Vento bumper grills
• Vento FER dummy lenses
• Vento FER turn signals
• Vento passenger side mirror
• Vento rear plate holder

I’m planning on selling the rear plate holder since I’ve already got one on my car from GoingFast. $90 shipped. Here’s the link to my Vortex FS thread SOLD.

And here’s one shot of the car all put together and sitting in the old garage. If you’re wondering about the hood, it has been sanded down to bare metal and the washer nozzles have been shaved. I plan on getting it painted sometime in the near future. Look for another post soon about the nozzle shaving process.

I need to look at some of my old photos and try to go out and take comparison pictures with the new euro bumper. I still need to get the Vento mirror bolted on, but that will be another day. I think I’m finally growing tired of my ill-fitting mirror blank I bought on Vortex.
