That red is sexy as hell i have to say :) , I'm on with the car again now as i can't seem to insure anything ? haha! Just ordered lamin-x for a few parts , and getting the black roof done asap , also got my tow strap fitted just for show and plan on re painting the calipers when the weather chears up! Need to sort a new backbox as i fancy an oval tip also :)

Diffuser is also getting ripped off and painted in a gloss black :) Have to get the heatgun and cut the plastic welds then re-weld with more plastic , its a right chew on! I have heard it's a pain to get paint to stick to the bumper though? Anyone know if that's true ? If so I'll vinyl it ... Had a word with a mate and he's going to paint the wheel centres and the diffuser. Just need the money to fund all this !

If the rear diffuser is the same as the foglight covers, it's almost a "vinyl" that's on it already. I got a stone chip on my fog and stupidly picked at it and peeled off a large section of "Grey". Perhaps this is why the paint doesn't stick?
Yep I think it is more like vinyl tbh! It's a really smooth surface. I'll have to see how it goes!

You can always cover the dents with a sort of peel able adhesive then flat it over .

Right I'll keep that in mind then , never took my rear bumper off before though! How hard is it?

I really need to do the bit round the rear reflectors good idea that as the paint has flaked off badly on mine but need to decide on a colour first. What lamin-x you ordered? I am going to do the rear lights but waiting for it to warm up a bit before doing that.
