Dear Dave,

Is there anyway we can view those most recent photos at the correct size please ?

As they seem to have been re-sized by either Pf or photobucket.com....

they seem to be down sized for some reason, making parts of the image look jagged

Ok another update time ,spent some more time on the bumper today ,decided to do a couple of different things on this one .
Decieded that the very top bar is going on this one and the center bar will still be thinner but instead of dropping the top section i will raise the lower part .

This is how it sits at the moment ,next stage is to cut the lower part out and move up and rebond.
