Then it was back into the bodyshop on sunday morning to get the paint onto the bumpers and see how the colour and finish was going to look:
These are just a couple of pictures to show you the colour that the bumpers and grill will finish up, we used the grill as a test to see how they would come out and i'm well impressed, i think its quite a good match to the original factory blue/grey colour. The rattle cans that we bought also had some funky little adjusters on the nozzle so that you could change the spread of the spray which meant you could alter it depending on what you were painting which made life easy, and also made it easy to cover the bumpers with paint :thumb:
Sorry for the turd i phone camera.

Put a couple more coats of paint on them after this but didnt get chance to take any pictures as i had to leave but i'm well impressed with how they've turned out, cant wait to get them fitted now too. I'll take some pictures and update the thread once i've fitted them.
I also bought these off auzzy2000 to smarten up the front end, because i think with the new bumpers on the amber indicators may look a bit out of place so on these will go when i get them!

Ive also bought a 4-2-1 ashley exhaust manifold off Lee H, cheers pal, thats already heat wrapped etc, and the runners are quite a lot larger than those on a standard xe manifold, someone has also atempted to port it i think which will aid gas flow, no pics of this though as its in the boot of my car and cant be assed to go take any pics, also bought a gsi servo off rickardo to fit but again no pics!
More updates to follow soon!
