Anyone got any thoughts on what im thinking with this, with my s2 having a resto and a paint I decided that im going to sort where the front panel has previously been repaired in the usual places where the bumper mounts, there's nothing wrong with the repair but id rather sort it properly, now I got a new front panel for it but unfortunatly its a pattern part and im not happy with the press on the slam panel part, so what I was thinking how easy is it to unpick the lower part of the panel on the car and the new panel and replace just the lower part as I could also save disturbing my wings at the top as they are original
Any one done this
Cheers

Fook it just leave it as it is matey.

If its not broke don't fix it.

 

Nah fuck that Glenn, ill never be happy knowing its there and been patched

 

I agree, if you can't see it and it's not causing issues, there's nothing wrong with leaving it.

It's easy to unpick the bottom of the panel, but you'll end up with a join behind the bumper anyway, defeating the object.

I'm not 100% that the rust behind was completely removed so while im at it I may as well, but the thing with the wings is completely irrelevant as I gotta take em off to do the cills anyway, but id still rather keep my slam panel as there are some ripples in the corner of the new one

I've just replaced the head light surrounds on a cabby and left the original slam panel in place for the same reason of the copy panel being UTTER shite, I've done the same on my RWD ERST as well and it is very easy. The copy panels only have about 6 very poor spot welds on each head light to drill out, the original panel has a few more but with a spot weld drill bit drilling from inside the engine bay the panel comes out easy and well worth the effort.

cheers ginge, the exact answer I was looking for, I didn't wanna put that shit slam panel on mine when theres fook all wrong with my original one, I could have forked out on a genuine panel but I honestly cant let this build out of hand.
