opinions please
« 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

i've done it a couple of times too- colour coded everything and the preFL looked so much 'younger'  ::)

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
