In another 10 days it would be exactly a year since I received my Peugeot 308, thus it is the perfect time to undertake my biggest modification to date. happy.gif Perviously all I have done was adding stuff such as rear spoiler and bodykit to my car, which can and were done very easily by myself in less than a day. This time it is a little different and this job is probably beyond my DIY ability.

With recommendation from our fellow forum member anek1, I took my car and my badly damaged during shipping bumper to Oto Vanguard in Tampoi, Johor Bahru. Uninstalling the old bumper and fitting the new sport bumper and sport diffuser alone took them almost a day. Painting and refitting the bumper took another day. However, the end result is pretty satisfactory which is all that matters. It gets even better, they spray my center fascia panel for me with gloss black paint and clear coat free of charge too. laugh.gif

Not sure about you but I always felt that it is perfectly okay for the 308 VTi to come with the classic bumper. However, the 308 THP should be fitted with the sport bumper to match the car’s more sporty nature. A quick check on Peugeot Service Box website and it is easy to see know Nasim thought otherwise. As it turns out, the sport bumper and the stock rear valance are more expensive than the classic bumper. I guess this is also the reason why all Peugeot 308 in Singapore are also fitted with the classic bumper. It is always about cost and profit margins.

Now with this modification done, I can finally say this is the Peugeot 308 I have always wanted. wink.gif

Looks good. Side skirt is neat too.
Not the same as GT. Is the diffuser working or aesthetic?
