Well, this weekend I have been on with getting the front bumper to fit correctly around the intercooler.
I have had to build up the lower lip in order for it to fit around the bottom of the intercooler. This was my
first real go with fibreglass and I am please with the initial results. The bottom lip needs smoothing and
sanding smooth but it is the right shape and profile.

I'll also need to trim some of the aperture for the intercooler in order that I can fit the mesh around the
intercooler to give it a bit more protection.
I also got a bargain on ebay this week which I picked up yesterday after the grand prix from a guy in
Rotherham - 4 almost new and 1 new Michelin 195/45 16's for ?98 :o

Got the three items acid dipped for a tenner from a mate on a guvvy job - they also do powder coating which is going handy for the rear beam!
