Come on Steve - pics

Only just ripped off the masking tape  Hope to rip the old one off the car tomorrow then ill take some pics from a distance 
Id only planned on smoothing the primer down and spent 4 hrs on it much to someones annoyance inside

What a bloody nightmare getting the old bumper off  Of about 12 screws , 3 rounded off 2 snapped and 2 were crypton factor inside the wing 

What a mess 



The headlight is out to re-seal it as it was misting , one of my fingers is swollen from slipping with the screwdriver  So once i had the bumper off i found that on the new bumper something was missing ... a snapped bracket , so made one up out of ally and fibre glassed in .All sorted and trims from old bumper put on ready for another day when i can muster up enough energy 


Oh yes , in my frustration i slammed the bonnet at half time only to realize id slammed it on my glasses  Fixed them as well

Not really mate , finger still throbbing  I do a bit at a time swear a bit then plod on , if it wasnt for the seized screws and bits missing that i had to make it would have been on . Next picture will be it all buttoned up providing i can find enough nuts and bolts  Now my glasses are fixed i mite get on a bit better 

[omega3000]

All done  Went on a lot easier than the old one that came off , i  can see a few bits that need touching up but overall im happy with it 





No more to come

Thanks cem , i can do more to it now its on the car . Just going to let it settle into place then see what else i can do with it . Fog lights dont fit from old bumper  so blanked the holes off till i can get some GSI ones ..hopefully for 99p

Looks like you did a good job. Not quite as shiny as the rest of the car though.Needs a close in coat of lacquer maybe,or just a good polish once the paint has hardened ?
