In Germany they don't offer the 03+ Neon - so i have to build my own..

I started with the rearr end - because i don't have the matching headlights. Not yet...

First I installed the SXT-spoiler. It was simple - just swapping the trunklid with Marakkas Neon.

than I had to remove the black painting - nice but forbidden in Germany

Naked Neon-ass

Good to see: new taillight don't fits old bumper

And *drumroll* thats the new ass

I'm in love with my new bumper!

Good to see: The difference in the form between old and new bumper

Changing the bumper was a kidding job. Marakka forgot to tell me that you must have monkeyarms to remove the screws...

Looks good, but too bad they do not have an export bumper for the 03+ neons over there. I like the fogs on the rear of the 00-02 bumper

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 5:39 pm

I have a pair of the foglights now for sale...
And the bumper. But the bumper is sadly to large for shipping AFAIK

Sadly he can't. Don't know why. "To large" he said...

the bumper is super easy to take off w/an air socket wrench....if u dont have 1 your screwed....i went out and got 1 just for the job and its my new favorite toy

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 6:52 pm

I only had an old jaw wrench and a little screwdriver.
I lost my good tools - and I'm to stingy to buy a new toolkit...
A tool like that is pretty much all i have at the moment...

Ugh, Im still trying to get PT crusier backup lights for my rear bumper

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:22 pm

They're not cheap. 75 Euro for one. They look like my foglights but the glas is, hmm how can I say, white/red stripes.
In Germany is on the PTs left a foglight and right a reverse.
Don't know why my reverse is white, it's an aftermarket part from eBay...
And i found a shop with this white lights

And I found this pic:

In the next pic you can see the reverse and foglight like the german PT Cruisers have:

What are the two holes in the '03 rear bumper you have??

Other than that, it looks great! And what's up with the painted taillights and corner lights? It's illegal to remove the 'paint' from those? Were those just tinted by someone?

Post by **Diablo0** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:54 pm

Those are speed holes... duh

... yeah I dunno

Looks sorta like tint, a lot of tint... too much tint. Looks good though!

I think the holes are for the lights that were just removed. I want a euro bumper so bad and they rip them off LOL Funny we want what we dont have,

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:58 am

Love the new look Jenni. So its not going to be illegal driving it w/o the rear fogs? Are those a necessity in Deustchland?

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:48 am

I feared already nobody would ask for the holes.

Yes, foglight and reverse are imperative needed in Germany. Thath's kidding me absolutely. No one needs this fucklight and you can't find a place to install it invisible.
I'm going to install a pair of aftermarket lights with grey glas.

Therefor I had to drill 2 holes with 2" caliber..

I had to REMOVE the painting from the lights because painted lights are forbidden in Germany, they where painted as I got them.

They're gone weeks ago. Marakka offered them here. But you can have my Altezzas. But there cover glas is in bad condition.
And as is said: I offer my rear fogs and my bumper.
But I think I can't ship the bumper to the staates. If you know a cheap and possible way...

@bad01neon: Very nice bumpers!

Yep. That was him. Seems like most 2gn people I know who want it almost got it. How I managed to actually get it, I dont know. He wasnt lyin though, it was never mounted on a car and was brand new. Though it got a few scuffs in shipping that I still havent buffed out cuz Im lazy. Atleast I managed to wire in a 2nd license plate light and hook the fog lights up. lol

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 12:52 pm

Now it's already finished:

I installed this lights as rear fog and reverse:

and now the holes are closed...

03sxt · Post by **03sxt** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 3:55 pm

Much better with something in those holes!

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 5:28 pm

And the best is: The lights are quite invisible on first sight...
