Good news on both the paint and dog bone upgrade, looks like you need some new rubber now to help with the wheel spin.

@Legojon just for you mate haha

Appreciate it. I do like a good bone pic.

It's looking ace. Exciting times. You've come such a long way since first unleashing that colony of bats from the engine bay.

Just been round to the painters next door as I spotted my bumper in the door way
No clear coat yet on the grills but done them black gloss

I know the rest off the bumper needs doing but that will be tomorrow

Maybe a bigger brush is in order.

No brush was used just a spray gun

I like the colour scheme with the badge. Im doing something similar with the rear one.

I was looking at it the wrong way... I saw the yellow stripes and thought he was painting it with a brush... I thought at that rate he won't be done for xmas... got it now... Badge and grills! They look ace... I assume he takes them back off and sprays the bumper yellow next?

Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh did you get round to buying a front splitter or is that still on the list of things to do.

Still on the list need to find out how much the painter is wanting for painting the wings and bumper then a phone call to see if one is available to pick up
