Had my spots wrapped
Discussion
Hi all - just sharing the pictures of my spot lamps - I had them wrapped with 'rally grade' (apparently) film.
Hopefully, it will protect them from flying stones (albeit small stone). Previously, I've had to replace 2 spots and they are not cheap as you know. I noticed a chip in my bumper right next to the recess a couple of weeks ago so decided to take some action.
Had it done professionally while my car was in getting replacement discs and pads.
But ... I also had something else done. Can you spot it? (You have to look closely)
Regards
Ian

Looks like your bumper needs looking at more than anything.
?Must be the light or the angle as, apart from a few stone chips, it's fine.

Interested as well 
Yep - just taken a few more pics. And, as long as you promise not to scream, I'll post some of the stuff that's going on behind the bumper later when I find them (the garage took them).Now ... before anyone asks, it's not intended to use to pull out of a deep ditch! (When the bumper would likely be f
d anyway) - but it's fine(and been tested) for towing back home, onto a breakdown truck (or back to the pits!).I'm very chuffed with how it's come out.
Closeup of what you see - hardly noticeable:
With the tow ring in (opposite thread of course):
Side on - well clear of the bumper so no scratches from the tow hook! (Think this might be from a Vectra)
Close up and fitted: (It's going back in to be under-sealed in a couple of months and we may fit a plastic ring into the mesh to finish off even better (maybe a cap screwed into the thread to keep the muck out).
I`m confused now. The third pic in your 1st post, under the numberplate it clearly looks like a section of the bumper has cracked away revealing the foam inside.
It is not in these new pics you have uploaded. Is it a very odd trick of the light or were these pics taken at different times and the bumper is indeed damaged?

You sure about that? Look under the numberplate in the last pic, you have lost a section of the bumper and can see the foam innards.
No - it's fine .. honest. (But I see what you mean. Looks like there;s a chunk missing!). Here you go - it's the light (think it's the refection of the bricks). Thank you for pointing out though. (but I suspect I would have noticed).
