ENVYD

shame i didnt know about it, would of saved so much time! lol

ENVYD

well some more bits and bobs done.
 
it was taking to long to get the stone chip off so some good old Nitro Mors give a hand:

any updates mate??

ENVYD

sorry mate, aint been working on it for the past few days just tidying stuff up! i shall be starting again tomoro!

ENVYD

well long time no post, it did not help that my cam got washed with orange juice!
anyways some more picks for you all

finished off the pass side door:
 





 
also got started on the rear bumper and vent, both got reactions for some gay
reason, but also both got sorted:
 








while i was doing the bumper i started to flat back the clear coat for a smoother finish:
 




then started to fit a few bits up:
 






 
then a start on the front bumper. the after market one if off by miles, so much so that i cut my stock on in half to get a better panel gap and bridge the two together, even doing this the curves of the after market bumper seem to be really really off to stock within only 1-2" of panel gaps, so might have to buy a new front bumper:

shame about the bumper mate! who did you get it from??

also what front mount u using?

ENVYD

a lad off here bud, he said it was from replikit though! got it cheap like, so not a great loss!

MaLicE

should of spoken to replikit before you cut it, they supposedly guarantee fitment... and will make it fit if it doesnt lol!

good luck :)

oh any info on the front mount?? im looking to buy one myself lol!

ENVYD

i was not 100% sure if it was from them or not tho mate, as there is no stamp/ paper work and i am sure there finish is with a white gel coat!
