[cooper_nova]

ty all for ur positive comments hopefuly it will be done for saturday night ( i bloody well hope so went to bed at 5 am this morning coz of that bumper :o

[Neil.]

shn it will all pay off, putting extra time in will be worth it, whats fibre glass like working with?

[cooper_nova]

i find fibreglass easy to work wiv as long as u don't use too much hardener as it will go off within minuiets then if that happens ur up the creak wivout ur paddle, only problem i had wiv the fibreglass is that its a b*****d to sand especially by hand, oh and that u can get in a right mess wiv it and dont get on the front room floor coz the otherhalves don't like it lol

[staffychance]

First time i used fibreglass i wrecked the kitchen worktop and yip your right they don't like it do they.

Moan, Moan,Moan.

So now my cars on hold for a month or so while i fit our new kitchen (not just a new worktop a whole new bloody kitchen.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Either that or don't be as soft as me and bin her.

Or and looks good what your doing, keep at it. and yeah i also argree sanding fibreglass is a pain in the arse.

[XZiBiT]

is that all fibre glass or p38 on top cos if its jus glass then thas gonna be a biatch to smooth off :o but its looking sweet

[cooper_nova]

mostly fibreglass wiv some p38 to help in the smoothing process lol

[mikeoxford]

have to say i despise that bumper, but the way you changed the cutout in the centre so its bigger, it dont look half bad.

the before and after photos so far it has gone a massive transformation, i wouldnt have got anywhere close

stick at it :+:

[cooper_nova]

thanxs mike i think it does look good and its a shn_nova original too lol

[Anton]

[2litreturbo]

[cooper_nova]

lol ur only mucking about aren't u?

[2litreturbo]

nope. if yours turs out ok we'll come to some arrangement. When i work on my car all i get is grief from the missus. Cos she wants a baby and i keep saying we cant afford it, even though i just got a 25% salary increase! Leather seats in a few weeks. Haven't broken the news to her yet!

[cooper_nova]

ok m8 wot bumper wud it be on? and can u run fast????? :lol: :lol:

[2litreturbo]

i like what youd done with your one. I'll choose a bumper when the time comes but i basically want to be able to mount my intercooler behind it.

And i have a fast car!

[Dare-devil]

It's gona look awesome m8. It looks 100 times better than the original one.
