Just popped down to the body shop to get a few quick photos of my front bumper which is being smoothed and cut up at present.

Have to say im very impressed, i only dropped it off ths morning and they seem to be going good on it

Should be ready for tomorrow for me

heres the pics









you can see they have cut it ready for my steinmetz grill to slot in

I will post more pics tomorrow after i have collected it

Cheers Pete

I still don't understand how the bumper is bolted to the actual car? The part of the bumper that bolts on has been removed.
