Remember this rather knackered looking rear bumper?

[Image: IMG_0243.jpg]

Here's what happened to it today. Few stages missed out in the pics but it's now sat in primer waiting for paint. Epic fail on my part though, didn't realise the rear fog light was the o/s reflector in the bumper so I now need to find somewhere to fit a foglight. Doh.

Fired some paint on the centre caps too after experimenting with different colours. Red ftmfw though.

[Image: IMG_0313.jpg]

Ooh and more red things! Some nice red conduit for the engine bay, was only £12 for a 10m kit off eBay, comes with a variety of sizes and I only used half of it

[Image: IMG_0290.jpg]

So yeah. Nice to have made some progress again after working 8 of the last 9 days!

I'm impressed with the high build primer I used tbh, came out like spray putty which is illegal now, can't get it anywhere. That shit was like P40 in a spray gun though, could fill anything with it! Used Upol High Build #5 for the rear bumper. Tempted to red suede trim my spare mirror caps for FCS..

Nice one bud, that sounds like a good plan! Reckon you'll have it all done in time for FCS? whistle

Yeah, tbh only needs an engine fitting now. Suspension is all spot on, needs brake lines which don't take long, and that's pretty much it. Considering I have three days off a week it should be ready well in advance. Only hard bit is now getting an engine, the one Gav has for me is ready to fit but he's popped his shoulder so can't drive it up to me, thinking of getting it up on a pallet but not sure how i'd fit it myself

Bit more of an update, let's start with the rear bumper. I've decided after my fog light related fail that i'll be putting an MX5 style fog light where the tow hook is, and throwing the tow hook in the bin. Was going to fit a red tow strap but couldn't be arsed with the hassle of mounting it so it wouldn't rip off the bumper if it was ever used.

Filler primer on and being smoothed:

Then after more primer, some gloss being applied

And outside drying

[Image: IMG_0338.jpg]

[Image: IMG_0339.jpg]

Not bad for a rattle can job, my smoothing skills are improving anyway! It's not perfect but who cares?

Got the centre caps polished up to an acceptable standard too, Halfords rattle cans are notoriously difficult to get a good finish from the can so a quick blast with 800, 1200, 1500, G6 and G10 followed by a top coat of fk1000p has them looking nice and shiny, can really see the pearlescence in some of these pics on the edge of the spokes too, me likey

And here's some shots of the car as it is. With regards to the rear, a before shot:

And after:

[Image: IMG_0329.jpg]

And a bit of edging around the slam panel to stop stuff scratching it. Just cut up the window seals from the gti6 and bodged them on lmao

[Image: IMG_0334.jpg]

That is all for today. Got some more bits on the way next week though, namely number plate surrounds, tinting film and more fabric Smile
