i think it would look top with the gte bumpers mate , also skirts lol
I'm thinking that gte bumpers and fitting the skirts is definitly going to be the way to go with it,I'll just be a bit scared about drilling holes in the side of the car to fit the sideskirt clips :(
I would rather clean bounding off then have to get rid of rust from holes drilled.
Would you recommend bonding them on then Scott?
I've got visions of you in a lay-by 2 miles from Billing, removing side skirts. :dQuote:

First off take a front and rear gte bumper in quite good condition, cheers dj wudgey, and also an sr front grill, all in desperate need of a good lick of paint though!

I have a mate that works in a bodyshop so me and him set about painting them this weekend, i was talking to him about the finish that i wanted on the bumpers and i was wanting to get them as close to the standard gm grey/blue colour as possible really, so after talking to my mate and his boss we decided that using a product similar to the upol mid grey paint would get us the finished result that we were after so we managed to find something at a local paint shop that would do the trick, at £15 a tin they werent cheap but i thought i better get three to be on the safe side and not run out of paint halfway through painting them. I did want to get rid of the dimply finish that the bumpers have from the factory so we used something called a DA which is like a small orbital sander sort of thing that takes away the dimply surface and makes the surface smooth, we then had to use wet and dry 400 to get into the bits we couldnt with the DA to get the rest of the bumpers totally smooth. We then plastic primed and then after this had dried we used quite a few layers of quite thick primer and left this to dry overnight.

Once they were all in primer like this we could see that the whole days worth of prep was well worth it as we had managed to get rid of any small blemishes in the paint on the bumpers and had also managed to get them quite smooth so i was more than haappy at the end of the day on saturday.
You going for the GTE style then ? :)
You gonna keep the valances in black?
