that's some good inspiration right there ,good to see what can be done with the standard front bumper instead of fitting Touran front. Your caddy looks awesome

Re: Thought of painting your grey bumpers?
I pick my Caddy up on Saturday and colour coding is the first thing on my list to do I've been wondering wether to get the touran bumper or stay with the stock one but my mind is now set on de-ribbing the stock one I think it looks the dogs you know what's!

I've been thinking about doing this too, my main concern is that if I do mine white then any stone chips will stick out like a sore thumb!!!

Re: Thought of painting your grey bumpers?
Before
After
We sanded the grain from the bumper with 400 paper to avoid it going fluffy, took ages... Then, plastic primer, a base white. Then flatted and filled any imperfections then three coats of candy white on too finish.
Pictures don't do the difference justice

Personally I'd do the facelift too much work for the van to just look standard.
