i c, yeah i was thinking about getting some other bumpers from the breakers, but then bumpers aren't exactly cheap and what do u do with them when u r finished with them? lol
i no someone who is a really good painter and he did my wing for me! he's doing a door for me at the mo cause mine has rusted at the top seal, i try and keep that out of the pics :? there are some deep key skratches up the side which he will do for me, i may ask him to do the bumpers as well. i'll prepare them while they are on the car, look a bit wierd for a while but will be good when finished!

the brakes have finally arrive, red dot were stalling but they had lost my order! dam them :roll:

anyway should be fitting them on and painting my callipers in the next few days!

IMO i think the car would look better without ony plastic on it - remove the side strips to finish the look

it took a good week to paint everything.. rub down and prime then leave a day, rub down and paint and leave it a day, rub down and laquer and leave it a day...... i fcked mine up a couple of times too which added to the time.

as for the numbers, when you pop the heater control pael off, the numbers will pull out the back on a transparent piece of plastic...

A mate of mine is selling a full G40 interior for around 200 notes. If anyone still wants one.
