Finish looks good mate.
Should have stripped the aerial/handles etc though so you don't get a lip though IMO.

Anyone notice 3 differences?
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02674.jpg
Thats right, gay sticker has gone, gay rear lights have been replaced for some nice standard items, and the spoiler brake light is all wired up, what a farse that was lol
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02671.jpg
Fitted some bonnet lifters
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02625.jpg
Also, at work i got given the job of cleaning out the storage shelves, whilst doing so i see something that catches my eye... "what could this be?"
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02661.jpg
Post-97 rear bumper, according to the stickers onit it came off a Corsa around 8 years ago that we repaired and the car had a new one, and this was too good to throw away, untill now
Check out the dustage yo'!
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02662.jpg
So filled afew of the bigger marks, buzzed off the scratches, masked up the top part, and prepped it for paint
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02665.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02664.jpg
Happy days! minty mint Post-97 for free, RESULT! :thumb: should be painted before the weeks out
Booked it in for its MOT tomorrow at midday, finally find out if she'll pass :thumb:
Not had an MOT for 4 years now i think, fingers crossed :)
Well, she PASSED! :thumb:
Said it was very clean for its age, clutch needs adjusting and could benefit from a new set of discs & pads, but funds are low atm, so they will have to wait
Anyway, here she is in the carpark, lovely sunny day
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02683.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02682.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02684.jpg
And heres my bumper i painted, it was my first time ever at painting with a gun, Kev said my basecoat technique was spot on like a pro, however i put the laquer on too much too soon, and got a 4ftx5inch run right the way across the bottom of the bumper lol, so its getting sanded and pained again
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02685.jpg
looks good from here, but check out the run
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02686.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02687.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02688.jpg
it continues back to the elft aswell, couldnt fit it all in lol
Also picked these up for free form my scrappy yesterday
Set of DTM mirrors with baseplates (dont worry, only trying them on to see how practical they are, most probabley be straight back off)
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02691.jpg
eyebrows, because they were free lol
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02692.jpg
And small air intake, ill fit this when i can be arsed to undo my cocked up air intake pipe lol
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02690.jpg
That is all for now, chums :thumb:
Looks good mate. LOL @ the dust on the bumper, i thought that was primer lol
You cant see fook all through those mirrors btw!
Small update, removed the stupidly big airbox for a more direct one
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02702.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02699.jpg
Then fitted a sunglasses holder from a mk5 Astra
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02698.jpg
And replaced the blue middle clock bulbs for some white l.e.d ones i ahd spare
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02697.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02696.jpg
Thats all for now folks :thumb:
SPI engines sound good with a cone filter ;)
Bumper has now had all the runs removed, took half an hour with a DA lol
Fingers crossed its getting re-painted and re-laquered tomorrow, so hopefully some pics tomorow evening :thumb:

Small update, Post-97 rear re-painted and fitted
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02715.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02714.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02707.jpg
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02706.jpg
Spare towing eye covers lol
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02712.jpg
Hopefully putting my private plate on soon to hide the age of the car, as now its not far off a full +97
Hope you all like :thumb:
Cars looking mint dave,
althou, i think wheels that stand out would improve it, like the white ones on that other 5 door one. but thats just my opinion. it all depends whether your going for the slightly modified look or OEM look.
looking good dave need some rear mudflaps would finish it of nicley
Whats with the sticker in the rear window? lol
Bumper looks well, nice work!!!
car looks nice
but please take that jdm sticker of the back window though
connor
iirc its a fast car sticker in back window, think ive got one sitting some where
Its the "Shocker"
Defonatley want soemthing on the back window though, i have afew ideas :thumb:
Went and did some work to her last night,
Fitted my rear OMP brace i got off a 3dr at my local scrappy
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02723.jpg
Side shock absorber trim thingymabobs cut so the brace can pass through:
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02724.jpg
And now for all you that say "Their pointless they do sweet fcuk all youve wasted your money" etc etc, your wrong
It acts as a brace for my sub and amp, totally solid now, no more slidey slidey round the boot:
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02725.jpg
And also, could you get a better place to hang your air fresheners? lol

FFS. neons...
You got all of these trinkets declared mate?
The shocker is JDM. Regardless if it came in Fast Car or not.
What's with the sticker obsession? lol Subtle wins the day over cheap 'mods' - and always has done IMO.
Looking clean. :thumb:
Them rca leads look a little forced there Dave
The neon is my boot light, as mine never had one as standard, plus its alot brighter lolQuote:
