well finally got all the engine bay/front panel painted. It is pukka! Chuffed with what it came out like as it was the first time i have sprayed. It looks rubbish in the pictures but thats just because it is sooo nice and shiny. I will get pics of it outside tommorow with a few parts back on and i think it will make it look alot better.

anyone have a wee metal radiator clip (that goes onto the front panel and holds the rubber bush on the radiator in place)?? I have lost one and could do with one. Any chance anyone could be so kind and post a metal clip to me please? pm me for my adress etc.
Also anone have 2 spare j-clips that hold the bolts in the wing in place. They go between the wing and the inner wing. Sure you will know what i am on about. They clip onto the inner wing i can put a threaded bolt onto it. Thanks. Greg
weill i have a shopping list and hopefully after i have got all that stuff i should have the project nearly finished.
I need new brake pipes/braided hoses
bottom ball jonts,
track rod ends,
new bilstein/spax struts,
wheel bearings (all four)
polybushes (replace nearly all the bushes on the car),
plastic primer for my bumpers etc,
K&N filter,
ashley exhaust system,
bonnet pins (still tnot sure if i should get them)
new window washer motor thing (that goes in the plastic bottle)
Anyone know how to get the best finish on my gsi bumpers?
I was just going to rub them all down and get them all nice and smooth then prime them and paint them with 2k black paint to watch the car. SHould i use lacquer on top of that or something? I will be doing my mirrors, gsi spoiler, gsi skirts and grill all at the same time.

Anyone also know what this wire is? it comes out of the loom near the window wiper motor. It is a very short wire and has a red/brown and brown wire i think. Is this for the window skoosher motor/pump thing?

Thanks in advance,

is the black 2k solid colour if so then no need for laquer,only on base coatsneed laquer.
Flat it down fill all stone chips prime it up flat it down again then paint with the 2k black.
yoza
the 2k black is a proper made up paint from a bodyshop. Not sure if its a solid colour or not. I asked for 200 vauxhall black paint and thats what they gave me.
