I just painted up a front bumper and turns out its the wrong bloody bumper for the car  I'd never have known before hand but the saloon and estate versions have slightly different wings and I've bought an estate bumper for a saloon car...
ARSE ARSE ARSE ARSE!

Impreza.. I couldnt work out what was going on, had to go put up a post on scoobynet to work out whats wrong lol!
My mate thought I was simply being a retard, it went something like this:
"Give it here, let me have a go you wally.... <waggle> <waggle> <pull> <push> <swearing> Oh... It doesnt fit"

It was an expensive way of finding out something not many people know

At least its for a popular car in a popular colour so you'll easily be able to flog it.

I paid £70 for it delivered and the paint job probably cost me about £60
But I now know why the bumper was so cheap!
I should have just stumped up the £110 extra for the brand new one
