Chicane16v Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Shoot me for saying it, but i cant help but prefer the original bumper.I have wanted to say this on a few threads/I think i prefer the number plate being lower. And i have never been too fussed with fogs. Good job though mate.Hows the repairs going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 each to their own I guess, I've been wanting to swap over the bumper for ages. I've got another fogged one sat in my ma's garage that I'm gonna stick a cossie bib on and smooth in and respray.The car's booked in for fixing the arch and spraying the door on tuesday morning, and I havent quite figured out how Im gonna fibreglass over the hole in the skirt yet. The glass mesh will need something to support it from the rear while its drying but I cant figure out a way to put anything in there. Reckon I'll figure something out, anyone any suggestions?

caled Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Thought that I should probably finish off this thread now. Got the car sorted out at the bodyshop a couple of months ago, and the results are below. They even did the skirt for nothing, as they said they werent gonna do it and then did it anyway. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20438.jpg and the arch http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20439.jpg And then today I swapped back to my old bumper... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20440.jpg ... because I've got hold of this cheap... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20441.jpg And trial fitted http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20442.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20443.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/20444.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caled Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 taa very much I'm tempted to take it back in and get the other arch done, rust bubbling through on the opposite side Is there a thread of recommended garages knocking around, or was that just one for scrappies?

caled Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Aye, it probably would have been written off. And what with my excess, I probably would've got about £20 from the insurance company.Glad I did it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
