bongo Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Would it not have been better fitting your mud flaps with the scren that goes into the rear bumper to secure it ? its how shaw said liam they're set to cover the wheel,iirc these mud flaps are for mk1,2 escorts etc.... Would it not have been better fitting your mud flaps with the scren that goes into the rear bumper to secure it ? there not escort specific gaurds Liam, they look like a generic brand with a ford logo, chances are he set them that far out to completely cover the wheel splash....something the genuine escort ones dont entirely stop. I quite like em, not keen on the escort ones, they never fit entirely flush and flex to much in the sun. wheels look much better in a darker colour, Im pleased to see you didnt go total black, dont think it would have complimented those wheels to much. cheers shaw,i do like the matt black colour though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 been busy this weekend painting my bumper,its come out pretty well after flatting with 1500 grit and then buffing back,i could have done a bit more flatting but as its a temp job i didnt use lacquer ( i know i dont need to ) filler primer http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/fillerprimer2.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/fillerprimer1.jpg sprayed http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/beforeflat2.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/beforeflat1.jpg flatted and polished,its actually better than the pics suggest http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polished4.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polished3.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polished2.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polished1.jpg also flatted and polished my lights too http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polishlight1.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/polishlight2.jpg and a bit more work on my heater controls,got my perspex and cut out my plate. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/greenperspexday.jpg looks kinda good at night http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh146/bongo2008/greenperspexnight.jpg plan is to stick some letters numbers etc....h - hot c - cold etc... then spray the panel satin black then remove the letters numbers etc.. and hey presto green illuminated letters and numbers. thats all folks!

bongo Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 There's a lot wrong with Radio 1 Marc Incidentally, I may have missed this in a previous post, but what's the need to move the heater controls? oil pressure,oil temperature and volt gauges That looks a nice job from rattle cans The controls look smart fitted there too And Radio 1 ftw cheers got the boot to do next,the spray job on the bumper is actually a lot better match than whoever done the n/s/r arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
