WELL!!!!
What can I say, here is a very late update, not alot going on at the moment, lack of funds and the weather being crap as I dont have a garage to work in is really cramping the project but it will get there, just slowly
So in pictures:
So as you can see, off came the old bumper, then a few coats of java blue for the new bumper topped with laquer. refitting the spots and indicators, finally the number plate before putting it back on the car. Before anyone says, yes I know the lights dont sit right but the bumper seems to be pushing them up, it wasnt until I looked at the XR/RS lights I have that I realised the are fractionally shorter (from bumper to bonnet height) so hopefully that will bw cured when they go in. only niggly thing other than that was the fact that the drivers side indicator wires wouldnt reach so I had to cut the wires and extend them, but it all works now.
Like I said slow but IT WILL GET THERE!!!!
