hey peeps...been working in the garage all day today and thought i would let you know about my progress...
well first thing was to completely finish the rear bumper off...
first thing was to smoothen and apply filler to the new number plate light recess
then carry on doing so untill the desired finish was required...then a quick trial fit:
everything looked fine and the finished article like this
however, i will double check the height of the light tomo when i have more energy and see if its low enough for me...if its not then plan B comes into action
rear bumper FINALLY complete 
next place to attack was my bonnet...when i bought the car there had been a few dents on the bonnet where the owner must have pressed down on to shut the bonnet
angle grinded away the paint
filled and then smoothed also finished the de-badging
next area was to start work on the front bumper
after being advised to drill holes into the bumper before filling, i did so
filled up the line in the bumper
and that leaves me where i ended tonight...tomo will carry on with the front bumper

Hey peeps...not updated for a while now so thought i would let u know how im getting on...
got a rear disc conversion kit (thanx Gaz @ Racespec) which ill fit when my rear link kit is ordered and fitted
front bumper is now 95% complete....and kinda went like this
first mission was to get the troublesome front splitter on so went down to B+Q and got some brackets to fibreglass to the bumper along the inside...trial fitted them:
fitted better than i thought so i secured them in place:
this made the bumper look like this
next things to attack was the big bar...wanted to shorten it down...
so marked out what needed cutting away
then cut it out
finished there with the bumper looking a bit like this
will carry on tomo and bond the bar back together

Does anyone have any idea what the smallest sized plate i can get away with on the car is? i would love one the size of Twins' but i cant be bothered getting pulled over all the time as i get pulled over all the time already...and i can tell the cops are just waiting for me to slip up with a tiny thing so they can charge me for something!
Otherwise, i was thinking to relocate the number plate lower or something?
