Ok so my car is now in the bodyshop to get the front bumper sorted, so I thought i'd start this thread to show progress.

 

This is what it looked like when I first had it:

 

 

Lots of damage and paint missing.

 

Currently bumper is off being repaired as follows:

 

 

I bought some ABS plastic mesh off ebay to tidy up the big gaping hole and im gonna get the number plate repositioned! More photos to follow on the road to completion!

Who are you using, I need mine done?

Lee and Turner in Bridgend, where I work!

Ah, so are you the man to see about cheaper rate painting??

I can ask on your behalf what do you need doing?

Front bumper similar to yours and then eventually whole car at the end of the summer.

eventually whole car at the end of the summer.

 

Mines going in for a full re spray next week. You'll be able to see the guys work and decide for yourself how good it is. Gareth, the chap who does all the spraying is fairly well known amongst the car forums, especially scooby net, most of the boys on there use him for there spray work.

 

Sir Charles front bumper is going to look brand new by the time G finishes with it :) I'm just as keen to see the outcome as he is lol

Me too :cowboy:

Car looking a bit sorry at the moment....

 

 

But bumper is nearly ready for fitting! :)

 

 

and nose panel too!

 

Looking good matey. When the painting is finished, update the piccies in your ride, to reflect the top paint job. Nice one.

 

Al.

Sweeeeeet

Am I ok to display my number plate in the windscreen until I get new ones done?

Part one completed :)

 

 

Part 2 involves getting the rest of the car mopped and polished to match the new paint! Followed by part 3 which is fitting 99 spec spoiler :)

Very nice paint job :cool3:

Very nice, any news on whether he can do my bumper?

 

And since a lot of the Welsh members will look at this ..What about a meet??? Are we going to start with one at CardiffGate Toby on the 1st Monday of the month as previously mentioned?

Although the bumper looks good in the pics I don't think the pics do it justice! It looks so much nicer in the flesh! Seeing Sir Charles face when we walked in to the compound where his Z was and seeing the bumper fitted was a picture..........................wooooow I think was the expression used :)

 

It's going to look mint when the mop and polish is complete.

I think they will probably want to see it before giving a price but yeah they can do it and i'm 100% happy with the job they done rescuing my bumper

Great, let me know when I need to come over to them, I can do a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

Very nice paint job :cool3:
