to be honest i wasnt looking for a pure euro look. but i suppose its pretty euro in essence. i wanted it to be a bit different which is why i havnt gone for a gsi front.
cheers for the comments people

**PIC UPDATE**
for all you people who dont read the WIP threads! :roll:

not very interesting like, but the skirts are nearly finished just a few small blemishes need fixing (pretty decent job for a first attempt tho) couldnt get a pic of it fitted as i was working alone today.

and as a quick question, where would you put the indicators? im thinking LED's in the wingmirrors?

cheers

i think that might defeat the object of removing the original side repeaters. cheers for the input tho, keep it coming!

** UPDATE **

ok so i pulled my finger out a bit today, although it doesnt look much at the minute, the amount of work that went into this was astonishing!! i was amazed how long it took actually!

ok firstly i cut the recess out of the mk5 fiesta bumper (cheers whitey), then i shortened it by taking a bit out the middle. then a plastic welded the two halves back together and welded them to the corsa bumper which i had mesured and cut out. surprising how long it took but i managed to get a liberal coating of FG on there as well and its solid now!!

didnt manage to get any bodge on or fit the numberplate light but i was well happy with the progress made today.

satisfying, and i think it looks great. 8)

ill take some more pics when i crack on tomorrow
