I am thinking about getting my car body sprayed. So I was going to delete the badges and aerial. I am also wondering whether the x4 side bumper reflectors are a legal requirement? The car would look more minimal without them.
Also while I am here, does anyone know if there is a better looking rear red fog light available? The standard one is huge. It is also a bit annoying that it is slightly off centre.
Just thinking of jobs to do, if I go ahead with the bodywork.
Thanks!

I need to find some slimline LED foglight thing to fill my bumper cut-out as I have the ugliest, sorry, 'utilitarian' thing on there at the moment...  I quite like it in a deliberately and proudly ugly kind of way, but slimline and more discreet would be better lol Any recommendations are very welcome! |

woohoo my 1st post went well!
Wannabe, I'd go for the reverse light mod and "fill" the bumper slot

That fog light mod is really easy - easier than fitting those silly lights in the first place!
The rear reflectors are a lot requirement but the 4 corner ones aren't - they are in the USA tho...

I agree a slim LED or even small round light would also look good

The foglight was always a bit of an afterthought. You may be able to find a bumper from an import without the ugly cutout.

Maybe an OEM rear lip would just about cover that slot cut out on wannabe's bumper?  |

Nice mod!
I have found some potential solutions for better looking rear fog lamps. I may buy a few and have a play. If anything works out I'll report back.
