just spent all day reading this thread on and off from start to finish and I've got to say it is the best series 2 I've ever seen , it's lush mate it's a total credit to your creativity!

like someone said earlier if carlsberg made series 2's it would be this one!!

Acting a twat? Your a patronising knobber arnt ya!?

How much dust ACTUALLY gets in the engine bay with the bonnet down, not much! Not hard to wipe it away with a damp cloth is it!

Oh yeah, 3 posts between us in nearly 100 pages, I see your point!

I'm sure if David has a problem he'll say, you seem to be involved with most of the crap on this forum yourself, can I mention the Reyland Escort, or not, opps!!

Thanks for the comments (most of them lol) giving the primer some time to harden off then will get flatting it down,need to flat off the splitter and get it over to the carbon guy along with the rear diffuser and something else

Absolutly amazing, detail is pure perfection.
Can't wait to see the carbon!
Imo, one mirror looks good, but I would put a small mirror on other side.

Looked over this project alot over the last couple of months but i have never posted

Loving some of the custom bits youve done to keep it away from the norm

I just hope you dont take it too far away from the original look

What im wondering currently, is you put so much effort into the last bumper and it looked spot on - so are you going to keep it and swap them over from time to time like you did with the bonnets etc?

Or are you going to sell it?

Looking back at the pics of the bumper being test fitted the car looks awesome, but i cant help wondering what it would look like with a badboy bonnet maybe not to your liking but i reckon would look hard as nails????
