We'll see! I've kept the wings, and another front bumper won't be too costly. Wouldn't mind a really clean rep like BREMBO's old one though - used to love that before it got ran into :(

Yeah, possibly. But when it comes to fitting it to the car, it'll still twist and bend weirdly. And whenever you want to take the bumper off you'd have to fa*ny around undoing the wings etc - and they're a pain! And there's the heart in mouth moment when you remove them, trying not to crack...

It could probably be done if I threw more cash at it or got a body shop to make it work. But I just don't have that sort of money to throw away if it doesn't work again... Never mind! I'll just have to settle for a nice rep I guess...

All parts are interchangeable from the sports. The arches are a little fiddley to get off, but not difficult! About 7 or 8 bolts either side I think... Thing is, when you get arches, you'll be needing the front bumper and side-skirts too, or else it won't quite look right :)

Well, with hindsight, I probably would have too! I just kind of prefer the look of the PH3 bumper, so why not have a go :) Never mind ehh! At least everyone else will be able to learn how difficult it is.

Arch Rolling Great success! (Pain in the ass to try and photograph though.) Thing is, it still rubs on the rear bumper! Time to get the sander out... Also, I think I've managed to source a Sport bumper too which is nice :D That's all for now!

Just to prove silver is best: Whereas... ;)

Yeah! I'm pretty disappointed tbh. It's just one of those things... Could probably be done a different way somehow - but i've had enough of buying new bumpers etc! Never mind. At least the rest of ClioSport now knows how much of a pain in the bum it is.

Noooooooooooooooo! Keep them silver! It looks absolutely mint. Spend the refurb money on buying your Xenons back ;)

Looks like a MK1 Polo 'Derby'

Did you apply heat? Might have a go tomorrow! lol

I don't want it to turn out pants though! Heat gun (hair dryer? lol) prevents the paint flaking... Cheers mate :)

I agree! They'll do for a while until I can fund some decent, probably brand new wheels. It could have been worse i guess - didn't end up spending toooo much on it. But I'm happy I had a fair old try! Oh well - Sport kit now, onwards and upwards :)

From YouTube: "It's spring time! Giving the wagon and it's exedy twin plate clutch some grief in 6th struggling to contain the torque as the RCM500 spools."

I think so too! :) I reckon they'll be going silver again. Just works so well!

Blurgh. On the plus side, trial fitted my SuperT's... Perfect fitment? LOL I think i need the arches rolling...

Update: Basically, it's not goint to work! The join just isn't strong enough because the bumper is being twisted in an awkward way to fit it. Plus, the fitment isn't great. The bumper sticks out about an inch too far - so there's almost a gap between the headlights. Gutted tbh. Ah, well -...

Stunning!

Just got what you meant about that! LOL. I haven't taken the spring seats out - i meant the passenger seats! :o They're cable tied in atm, so not going anywhere. The plastic fumes are clearly getting to my head...

Same car from the inside... Wow! Love the turbo spooling and chirping away! Mental.

That's absolutely Gorgeous. Very well done sir. Esp since it's a PH3! As for the OP's car, I'm not so keen, but whatever floats your boat... right?

I think i probably will tbh! But I need to try it and get it out of my system - I'm still young and naive. Lol Yeah, that's the lacquer. Do lots and lots of light layers, so it goes orange peely, then when you wet sand go from 2000 to 2500 then finally 3000 and it becomes like a dull mirror...

Me too! I now understand why nobodys really attempted it before! LOL. Ermm.. I should get the other side completed tomorrow, so I'll have a trial fitting sesh when that's done - see if i have c**ked up! spraying usually takes a weekish, just so the lacquer can set properly and i can get a wet...

Sounds like a f**king rally car!! Do want.

That's the MX-5 i posted... Flickr says unavailable - gay Really like it, anyway! lol

Wow! Very interested to see how that would turn out. Not sure if yellow camo would be a little too much though? Something to think about, anyway.

Do Tell! ;)

Really, really like that! No idea why - it just looks Good IMO. I think the stance of it helps.

Ohh really?? Do you still have your rear seats in btw? mine are out and I wouldn't have thought they'd do that with no weight in that back.. Must be very soft springs! I think I'll have a go at that actually - good idea!

Yeah, i do actually! Took it for a drive last night, and theres a small knocking or twanging noise? Wasn't really concentrating! Any idea why they do it?
