Today I took the front bumper off as there was a few jobs I wanted to do, first of which was to sack off all the unneccessary junk and extra weight that wasn't required.

 

 

 

Fog lights came out as I've got carbon fog light ducts, removed the support bar, removed the intercoolers as I've got ARC ones fitted now, due to the intercooler upgrade I wanted to make sure there was maximum airflow both sides of the intercoolers, so removed the washer bottle - I'll be relocating a small one elsewhere, headlight washer stuff, overflow tank, carbon canister etc.

 

Picture afterwards:

 

 

 

much less clutter.

 

plenty of room behind intercooler, fitted my altered arch liners to assist flow. Also painted the centre section of the front bumper in graphite grey (thanks for the idea hartyuk ;) ) and fitted my carbon ducts.

 

I also wanted to try my halfrauds polishing kit on my Work Equips as they are in desperate need of a polish up...

 

finish before:

Love that wheel finish!

But thats not the same wheel!

Well noticed detective jim lol... it had the same finish before though (dull)

 

at just over an hour per wheel needless to say I got just the one done but will do the other 3 when I can be arsed! :lol:

Nice one, I whimped out of the Carbon Canister as I didn't see all that much point in removing it tbh, I will do it later when I replace the intercoolers.

carbon canister is easy-peasy to remove and bypass, I could wait to remove it for the reasons listed above. :thumbup1:

 

and I should have checked all my bumper brackets before sending you my spare ones lol :cry:

lmao, sorry dude, which ones are you missing? I only used the ones for screwing the bumper to the wing and arch liner, didn't use the other ones you sent, because tbh, I can't remember what they do or where they go, LOL

I've got spare outer ones (the triangular wing to bumper ones) but may need to grab the other ones off you at some point. I'll see how well it rebuilds tomorrow.

 

cant believe how rusty they were! :smash:

Yeah, little tip mate, go buy some Kurust, available from Halfrauds, made by hammerite, you wire brush something that's rusty, then paint the stuff on, it treats the rust and treats the metal at the same time, then you can stick proper hammerite over the top if you like, but it basically paints the rust black anyway. Do the same with things like your rear bumper rails, as they disintegrate too.

Great work Baz:thumbup1:
