The overall plan

[cornishtaz]

Keep going mate, look really good.

[fraggie]

right im sure your all fed up of seeing the front bumper off the car... so this should be the last time

Got back from work today and had a good go at it.

I get back to the bumper and the strips are bang on so off comes the masking...


in goes the tow eye cover...


and on with the plate...


now there is a little overspray in the "brake ducts" :p

i will be spraying this black so it disappears nicely...



now the rear bumper will have black mesh in it but im not sure whether to spray the aero bit on the back of the fuel tank back to black again?


black or white?

this is the mesh I will be using at the back but also at the front...


my hids also arrived today so they will be fitted this weekend as will the front bumper

really coming along now

Bill

[fraggie]

so out with the old bulb...


hids wired into the live...


earths converted to allow for the hid earth...


new bulb in...


one hole for the grommet...


tada!


ballast packs in position


and lights back in place...


these are the best shots i can get whilst its in the garage... unfortunately as its been hammering it down I will have to get better pics tomorrow!


and just quickly going at the bumper with some mesh and no more nails


bumper will be back on tomorrow and ill take some good pics of the front end!

[cornishtaz]

nice mate

[fraggie]

not a lot done today but the car looks much better!

finally got the front bumper back on (as the no more nails has dried).


And heres how she stands at the mo!






As you can see it will look far better once the vinyls and alloys have been sorted

Cheers

Now that is starting to look the dogs danglies

[frankej]

Looks totally smart!!! i like it! cant wait to see her finished!

[vinny_69]

bet your getting excited aint ya i know i would
im not sure about the front grill bit.....i would have thought it would have been better to follow the yellow around to the arch.

[fraggie]

if you look at the dtm car it isn't on there so it isn't on mine

[vinny_69]

i just thought it would look a bit better but it's still stunning

[calibra_16v]

ive just sat and read through all of this, nice progress your making mate, cant wait to see the finished thing

[Robs-se]

Coming on nicely, how did you attach your ballasts? I have mine in the same place and used velcro discs to attach them.

[fraggie]

these are attached with big bolts and drilled through the side of the bay

[Robs-se]

No velcro then

[fraggie]

well earlier this week i recieved a package containing the vinyl proofs. Today I have been masking these to the car to confirm scale.

Remember these don't represent colour, just size.

Enjoy









This vinyl will hopefully be a little larger to cover the spoiler.


















There are a few more bits which need changing but im definitely getting there with the vinyl side now
