been busy today, first off i sorted out cam cover gaskets as i was sick of all the smoke lol,  
then i stopped the battery light glowing slightly at night and then i trial fitted my facelift rear bumper and rear mouldings, (i know they need spraying before you all say it)

You have been busy and is starting to look really good!  I certainly prefere the facelift features.

[shanjon]

it has been really hard to find the rear mouldings and bumper, facelift estates are like goldust to find in a scrappy,

UPDATED PICS, ,,,,, I SPRAYED AND FITTED THEM TODAY AND NOT A BAD COLOUR MATCH EITHER

The original rear quarter mouldings are clipped on in a similar way to the facelift ones and the car already has the little bits of metal sticking out for the clips to clip onto , i was pleasantly surprised at this as i was expecting them to be stuck on with that ruddy double sided foam the only thing you need to do is drill a hole in the arch to fit a screw in the end of the trim,

as for the boot trim this also is easy to do as the old trims are attached in exactly the same way as the f/l ones (SEE PICS)

cheers dude   have you changed the door ones yet ??  :-?

Oh and if you are fitting a f/l bumper as well you will need to redrill some holes as some dont line up,
the hole on each side behind the reflector is out of line as are the holes for the screws that hold the reflectors on,
you will also need to drill a hole in each wheelarch to secure the bumper there as well
