painting has went well apart from 1 flaw......i dont know if its because the loft is cold or because the bumper is pre-painted but there is little circles formed in the paint which slightly show the red through it, dont get me wrong im talking minute, wont be noticeable on the car i hope and only seen when inspected close up, but im not ranting and raven about it so its not bad at all, just hoping it looks as good as the photoshops....bumper will be back on tonight but splitter will wait till tomorrow, reason its taken so long is my bro went out earler leaving we with a half stripped apart car :( , owells cant complin hes done plenty for me haha :D, possible pics tomorrow probzs without splitter becuase i think its getting fixed on a different way to stop it being soo loose

hopefully released and back in action tomorrow, im actually pretty pleased with how its turned out, yeh some spots but hey for something that was gonna cost £40 at a body shop that has now cost me £00000 and 0p i aint gonna complain, cant ask for perfectness as were not pro painters....im sure when fitted they should be pretty much invisible unless up close

I like that a lot :) I was thinking of doing the same to my bumper a while back but didn't think it would look as effective against the platinum grey

This was my idea and am taking full credit for it!!!!

Did you manage to get the fog lights working yet?

.G.

I'm hoping to get the fogs wired up for him soon. The weathers just been terrible just now to get a clean shot at getting them done in one go. Need to get the wiring sorted out for the main beam aswell as its still set up for an H4 bulb
