Here It Is In Primed!




And Here It Is Straight After Being Painted!


Do you think it needs laquer on it? Any comments/views appreciated.

Hope you get a good colour match -- cans, red etc etc. Any before pics?

Looks like a good job - bet it was cheap too which is sometimes a good thing

flameredcorsab, you could try the PVD mesh grille

It takes a bit of work to fit to the pre97 bumper but its worth it

Mate - wot did u do once it was sprayed?

Coz if u T cut that down, it will get rid of all the imperfections, and bring the colour up to a better match, and make it look like a pro finish.

I had a pop at doin my spoiler, with vaux cans. Afterwards, the finish was crap, and thought to myself, ah sod bodyshop job. Got the T cut out, and it came up better than the rest of my car that had just been in for a full respray!!!!!!!!

I had an FK bumper for mine, sold it a While ago to Mark Petty off here, wonder if hes used it or not yet LOL!
They are good bumpers tho, quality is good for fibreglass and looks smoother than the extension IMO.
