Nice repair on your bumper, especially if you did it with rattle cans!
the picture masks the full horror, only the other day I was buffing the crap out of it with a drill, t-cutting it badly needed, and went straight through to the primer, only a tiny patch so I just got some of the left over paint and sprayed it over the offensive mark, that's why I need a new one, bumper that is, a jdm one without that awful recessed plate holder, its currently held in place with tie sticks....

I am sure I have seen someone somewhere that made his own, can't be that difficult.....I say that with zero experience of fibre glass. Its a long term project so once she's straight with panels and parts I will move onto brows, although I will be off to Halfords later so the temptation might get the better of me.

You'll need to make a mould first mate, if you just start sticking fibreglass to your lights you will make nothing but a mess...

Yeah, gonna leave that for a while, I changed out my discs and pads on Sunday and in the process popped out my kneecap, laying on the pavement for an hour and a half at 7 in the morning waiting for a passer by was hell, tried to pop the bugger back in but to no avail so there I was laying next to my beast door wide open jacked up and tools spread akimbo, bloody horrendous, I get back from hospital a few hours later braced leg and all and what do I find coming from under my lovely? a huge patch of brake fluid has escaped from the loosened nut! Christ, luckily I had spare so I now have brakes that work but not great, bit spongy, I did the fronts until nothing but fluid was coming out and although they work they have this weak point when first depressed, I figure I will sort that on my days off later in the week.
Also decided to paint the caliper's and do the wheels while I was on it, carbon wrapped the side skirts to, pics will follow.....
Ordered some mud flaps, I will fit those end of the week, normally I would have the moulded jobbies but I get so much filth up my back end.......

I read your build thread yesterday, Some time spent on that beauty eh? have you reached the point were you are happy with it and can do no more? seriously looks good next to the other crackin little cars you got parked up there. soon to be classic I think, specially in that colour.
