No its not, its green stopper or green putty, 3m make it.
no you apply in with a stanley blade, leave it for 5 mins and the a quick light wet and dry over and your ready to paint
so in theory its exactly the same as polyester filler.
removes pinholes, scratches, cracks etc.
So, its been a week since they were painted, and we decided not to re-base coat them and then lacquer them, we just hit it straight with the lacquer, and it took to fine.
One wing in for the shine

Got them home tonight, bolted them all up, refitted bonnet pins and catches, and decided to take some pics...
So then... 3 door hatch with front loon wings - you decide (I personally like it lol) - oh, they've still not been flatted back, gonna give it a couple of days to go 'ard

w000t, despite neither of us ever sprayed properly before, I'm happy with the results, thanks once again to nova ian for the help today.
I think the main aim has been acheived, as you can see I could drop it another foot at the front without it catching like it used to lol
Would like your comments :)
looking good! paint job is better than some of the bodyshops i know lol looks good wings seem to work aswell! 1 peice bumper looks loads better imo
olly, i've missed the reason why you've gone to loon wings? Thought you had f/g front wings?
lookin hard as btw! (front bumper needs heat gunning/painting imo.)
Kris - yeah, they're by no means perfect, but 10x better than I ever thought they'd come out, and still more to come with some flattage. The colour match is spot on aswell, which is always a gamble with such a peculiar colour, metallic, and the rest of the car being 20 years old lol
John - I had FG wide wings, well I actually still have them in my shed, but decided not to fit them due keeping standard rear width. Wide fronts, standard rears works so well on Oli's car, but didn't look right on mine. So I've gone for loon wings which are widee as standard than 3dr wings, and the fact they're round enables me to lower the car even more to lower the COG, and clearence is much better now they're lip-less, all function orientated :)
I don't think a darker front bumper would look that nice with the colour of my car, I like it light grey - but I might 'shop it, and see how it would look :thumb: Also I like the retro-ness of it being faded as hell, I wouldn't want it looking new
Ahh i see! i never knew loon wings were wider than hatch!
Top work on the spraying. Can do some mega slammage with those wings now :cool:
Personally i dont like the look of them, just doesn't go with box/square rear arches... But thats a minor thing considering they've solved a few problems for you :)
