I thought the bumper was all nice and ready to be sprayed the other day, I had some primer lying around so I give it a once over to show up imperfections... There were a few :/
I went over the whole thing with p800 p1200 and p1500 to get it all nice and smooth, filled in any bits that...
Long bent one. I'm through jesmond a fair bit so I'll keep an eye out for you :) car looks nice mate
Oh, is that exhaust standard? Looks small ... Or do everyone on here put beasty pipes on?
Quickly skimmed through the pics (it's 2am and I'm bored in the library with the mrs) and I have to say awesome car, you either saved it from being gash or you came to your senses and made it awesome, either way great car mate :) look forward to seeing it 172 bumpered :)
That would be my girlfriends cardi :p
And danzel it's not really much hassle, apart from the body shop being picky. Tbf it gives me more time to work on it and get more used to body work, always a good skill to have I suppose. It's been a fun couple of weeks and I haven't once thought to pack...
There's no point, I only cut off about a centimetre anyway so it'd be easier to just reshape the fibreglass myself.
I don't trust myself to spray it, plus I don't have a spray gun. And halfrauds don't stock a colour close to mine, I was talking to a doorman I work with who owns a garage the...
Right, the updates are going to be small for a while, I've decided to get the bumper all ready for painting, primed and smooth so all the painter will need to do is apply colour;
Remember I cut the bolt hole too much? I hope this has fixed it
The plan is to sand this and cut it so it's a...
photo *****! horney said this is quite rapid like, youll have to let me know next time you're out ;)
car looks awesome like, oh... new exhaust? i thought this had a twin exit?
i just turned 12 when this was made :O i was reading through thinking ' imagine if this was posted now. the op would get slated off the forum!' and yes, racing is bad! especially when your mate overtakes in oncoming traffic!
i must say good on you for slowing down to hold up the police...
I doubt anyone would remove a sport grill, and remove xenons. Someone would probably put that exhaust on a 172 because it adds 10 more bhp instantly doesn't it I'll just go enquire about buying it, I may even kindly ask for discount because I'll have to fix it ;)
I was thinking 'where's the crack? :/ where's the crack? :' is that the crack? No... Hmmm. Holy f**k that's a big crack, and he's still flooring it? Dear me... Nice dials though'
The lip is much better than the gap mate, it would've looked so out of place. I'll see if I can find a pic to show you...
Found one
before cutting the bumper to fit the arches
After cutting and tucking
Best I have but you can see the gap would make it look a bit shoddy if I left it
Just installed this app, it does have to be on your phone already doesnt it? My mate lost hers a few weeks ago but I'm guessing there's nothing we can do now?
Upsetting update; remember the stencil what I cut out to modify the bolt hole in the wing? I shouldn't have done that, it's now too short to bolt in, oh well, body shops gonna ring me to book it in next week (one of two) so that gives me time to get the bolt holes right and fill in the excess
