For those that missed it yesterday I smashed my bumper so it looked like this

 

 

But today I've been busy and it now looks like this

 

 

I'll update more on the progress as I go along.....

All in good time Si...

Please tell me you had the rust cut out rather than fibreglassed over though! :)

Yeah, he said he ground it back, then cut out up to good metal, welded a plate in and the smoothed it all out with some kind of filler. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet or spoke to Dean face to face yet, hopefully going to get chance to nip in tomorrow.

 

 

 

That's the bad side, photo's aren't great though, it's a bit close to the wall.

I nipped in to see the car again last night, and it has been painted and polished, still had the bumpers to do though. I'm going on Thursday night hopefully to do a boost leak test and to put a few bits on so that they can be polished, and hopefully finish it off at the weekend.

 

only took a couple of pics, I was too busy talking.

 

But I can't seem to upload them (guessing because I still need to re-sub) and photobucket is being remedial.

 

hopefully get them up later.

 

 

 

 

Wasn't photobucket, it was me :lol:

Looking good! Time for some new exterior trim to top it all off! :)

Must be nearly finished Stevie and looking good.:thumbup1:

Thanks guys. I have another set of trim, but it's in a shape, I was going to go for the plasti dip option, I tried to remove the ones on the targas a while ago but I couldn't get them off for the life of me so I think i'll just paint them in situ. The little rear ones are brand spanking though so they can stay there.

The targa trims are a real pita, you have to completely strip them down to get to the fixing screws.

I did strip them down, and even did a little it of drilling, still couldn't find screws.

looking cool buddy !, where did you end up taking it ?

I took it to a place near teesport, he's just started out by himself. Only reason because he owed me some cash for some electrical work. He's done a class job though, it looks awesome, may even be home at the weekend.

Well, It's finally finished, had to rush the reuild due to some work coming in, so didn't get chance to polish the exhaust, or do the boost leak test. but I can do that at a later date.

 

unfortunately I lost one of the clips to allow the rear marker to e screwed in, so I'm going to have to find one of them, but apart from that she's looking good.

 

Going to buy some wax today while the weathers nice and get it on. I'll start a new post with the finished photo's. but here's a few for now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still haven't got any side lights yet, but the switchbacks are on order. just need to sort the front plate out today ebay here I come!!!

 

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

looks lovely mate i do think a impul would have looked better with the skirts and rear bumper

It was a tough decision, but I'm glad I went with the stillen, the quality is so much better been plastic. I think the impul would of been nice, but knowing my luck it wouldn't last the year. And I am really pleased with the finished result, So much better than the Greddy.

i agree it is a hard choice between the impul and the stillen as there both look amazing but tbh anything looks better then the greddy front end

Very nice Stevie I like the Stillen lip but would change the number plate to a UK type rather than the big square one but thats just my opinion mate.

I have to scone that! The number plate needs to be a small uk one which me personally would think will look well.

Looking sweet buddy!
