Title: opinions please
Post by: doog on 17 August 2009, 00:00:56
I have fitted facelift door mouldings to my 98 prefacelift
i painted the front bumper (top of it anyway)
I am not sure if it looks ok or not
obviously the rear bumper has still to be done  but wanted some feedback before i go any further

Looks like an interesting hybrid and original.  :y :y

If you had zommed in a bit, and recomposed the car a bit lower in the frame, with that lighting and mood seeting you would have had a shot worthy of being a calendar entry, imo.  :)

break me thats exactly what I am doing at the mo, in the middle of doing the door trims today!

I was a bit dubious about colour coding the front but yours looks good so will go ahead, did you just prime, colour and Laquer over the black bit?

It is interesting to see what a few f/l modifications can do to a pre-f/l and it looks very good! 8-) 8-) 8-) :y

Good job, Doog, looks great  :y

Thats the main reason i done it
I felt the pre facelift looked quite dated
although my plan was to get a irmscher front bumper for it  untill i seen the price of them.

I have to say i used  plastic primer halfords paint  and no laquer  i didnt want it shiney it has a slightly matt look to it which looks right on the car to my eye anyway

Think the grill is a wee bit bare...looks like it fell out rather than it was styled that way.

Maybe a very subtle dark grill, with no badge (because that does look quite good)..?
