Awesome deal! - Nathan1305 - 20-06-2014
I'm getting a phase 3 bumper and a set of crystal headlights for £20

RE: Awesome deal! - Connor - 20-06-2014
Ooh where to?
RE: Awesome deal! - bigcheez2k3 - 20-06-2014
Good job
I remember when I had my old DT, was going to pay £110 for a ph3 bumper as it was a rare colour. Picked one up for £10 at FCS
Sometimes you just need to be in the right place and talk to the right person. Had a fair few bargains because of this place.
RE: Awesome deal! - Orta - 20-06-2014
I had a crack in the rear bumper of my old PH3 GTi and couldn't find another black bumper within 100 miles of my house. Ended up getting a moonstone one for a tenner, but then it cost a bomb to get it sprayed (After I'd attempted and failed to do it myself!)

yeah I'm gonna get my old college to do it
i did body and paint in college
RE: Awesome deal! - Toms306 - 20-06-2014
If you did body and paint why not do it yourself?
Also, I have a china ph3 bumper here that can go for a tenner if someone collects lol.

i would have it for a tenner but you live too far
RE: Awesome deal! - Toms306 - 20-06-2014
Fair enough, didn't know if you could do it with spray cans, but I don't know much about bodywork tbf.
RE: Awesome deal! - WiNgNuTz - 20-06-2014
Nothing to stop you doing it with rattle cans, I was gonna do my old ph3 bumper with cans before i crashed it, and Kentiiboii has just done his rear bumper with cans, so I'd say go for it. Obviously you'll get a better finish with the proper kit, but if all else fails, cans should do the job just fine.

yeah i can get the bumper done for like less than £60 and rattle cans will probably cost a fair bit for primer, base coat and clear coat

Go for rattle cans mate, look im diy stores, I get 500ml primers, basic paints and lacquers for £2.50 they're the best cans ive ever used as well. Also plenty of body shops will mix paint for you so you get a better match.
ive been painting my rear bumper using rattle cans cost me just over £20. But take me about a week with prep work and things.

That actually looks really good
I'll have to get some paint from work before I start my new job, how many cans did you use?
Re: Awesome deal! - kentiiboii - 20-06-2014
I used 1x plastic primer 1x filler primer to get it as smooth as I can but should of used actual primer. 2x colour cans becuase the first started spitting, 1x lacquer becuase I wanted it to be quite this as the standard bumpers look like they have a thick coat.
Where I got the colour from he got all different shades of e0kq and matched them to different panels on the car, hes got a really good match but I think ive let it down becuase I didnt use red primer so it's slightly lighter. So when I do the front bumper im going to jse red primer.

RE: Awesome deal! - Connor - 20-06-2014
Yeah I know where that is, might have to drive past lol do you know they guy? Or has he just got adverts in the car windows?
Re: Awesome deal! - kentiiboii - 20-06-2014
If you've done body work in college you'll know all about the prep work.
With rattle cans keep a rag with you to wipe the nozzle regular cos it does build up.

Yeah I'm really happy
just gotta find out how to change my lights to crystals
Re: Awesome deal! - kentiiboii - 20-06-2014
Really easy to change them mate, you just need to keep the adjuster from your frosted lights.

What's the adjuster? Is that what adjusts the angle of the light ?

No you don't.
I swapped from frosted to crystal on the old car, only thing I needed to change was the stalk as crystals are twin optic.
