Dubs Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Update time! I've spent most of the time since the last update preping the car ready for primer so not really worth taking pictures of that. Tonight i've spent the evening turning the back end from a mk6 to a mk5. I already had the tailgate on so set about getting the lights in and the panels that go underneath them fitted. Theres a little bit of tweaking to do but the are only dry fitted anyway at the moment. Then I test fitted the back bumper. Won't be towing anyone in this car now, as the towing eye had to come off to get the bumper on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 lookin good so far , shame the exhaust ist goin to come out in the propper place Yeah mate. Its an ESP bumper that i've had stored for a couple of years. Not very happy with it really but can't justify going out and buying another one. Definately gonna try and raise the exhaust though. Should make it look a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 awesome project... but that bumper needs sorting, you could glass up the exhaust hole and make the correct hole surely then have a back box made cossie style... because your well on the way to a very good rep.

tezmanian devil Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 genuine one's have a black strip that goes along the back of them (in the bit that dips in---between the exhaust hole and tow eye bit), so look out for that, most people say they are, but there jus copy's most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the pictures it's really bugging me now. And the general feeling is that it should be changed by judging by what everones said so far. I thinks it's got to be done!

Martin Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 What a lot of work has gone into this! Looks great - the only thing that ruins it for me is the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
