Fast forward four years and I still love this car, but the one thing it was missing was the aggressive look of the front M Sport bumper. After reading about MWPoss's conversion, I was inspired to get it done.

For those considering it, the conversion doesnt require any real mods, but there are a lot of parts that need to be switched out. The M Sport uses different air ducts, energy absorber, frame, under engine shield and various other parts. The real challenge is finding a body shop that you trust and is willing to take on a project like this.
I was very lucky to find D&amp;amp;V Autobody in Northern VA. I worked with Kevin and Travis who are both enthusiasts, detail oriented and a pleasure to work with. The fit and paint are perfect. If you live in the DC, MD or VA area and are looking for a good autobody shop, this is your place.
All parts are OEM and I held onto the non-M Sport bumper cover if anyone is looking for a replacement. First two pictures are before, second two are after. |
Good luck and post up some pictures when she's done.
