Yeah, pleased that's sorted...
Tbh I didn't set out looking for them as obviously I have other priorities... but they were mega cheap. I'm not too sure yet, will stick them on and see what I think.
Had the day off today, so decided to get shit done...
This is what the garage left me with:
I'll point out all I was doing today, was adding some protection/making it stand out less... so not aiming for perfection. The whole panel needs work and respraying so doesn't matter.
Sanded that down and stuck on some fibre filler:
Then went over with some P38 and primed:
After a bit of top coat. I was worried about the match, but needn't have. Perfect!
And done, for now:
I also set about sorting my battery properly, and decided I'm not paying rip off prices. So, trade card at the ready, trip to halfrauds. Got a battery I just picked with a measuring tape, some vacuum hose, 2 L-connectors and a T-piece, for £60.
DIY vented battery:
And in place:
Lastly I sanded down and polished up my sorry looking exhaust tip:
