Red FTW.

You disappoint me, u don\'t even have grey hair "old man" pff- the car does look great, I\'m glad she no longer has egay-lights, a shopping list & pap written across the back (sorry :D)... Jason is very skilled with body work, the lines between your bumper & wing are perfection.

The bumper looks good but the light cover looks slightly max power, its like a window looking into the original \'92 spec, could you tint it more? Lose the screws & have them bonded with clear casting resin?

Looking good mate. Glad you got her back???

Ha ha! Sorry to disappoint you, Young Boy, I\'ve a habit of not living up to expectations! It was a sunny day so my distinguished silver highlights didn\'t show up too much! I can assure you, I\'ve plenty of grey hairs :yes, not all due to the car! Great to finaly meet one of my nemesises (wot\'s the plural of nemesis, then?), and ta vurrah much for trying to sort out my stereo, dude! :Thumbs-up

I know what you mean about the sidelight covers, not sure what the solution is. I had some crystal US stylee ones, but because the recess is deeper than the stock bumper, and the lights were also slightly deeper where the bulb-holder is, the headlights caught on them when coming up. I had a good set of de-fried-eggified sidies, but sold them a while back, so I think I\'ll have to do another conversion.

I tried tinting film on the covers, but because the dish on them is quite deep, it\'s impossible to use the film without a million creases forming, which looks proper sh!t. I guess tinting spray may work, but it\'s a bit permananent if I then find it\'s too dark to see the lights and indicators through. Bonding them in would be one way to lose the screws, but it\'d only be good until I had to change a bulb in the lights, and then I\'d have to remove the whole bumper! Maybe just painting the screw heads with a it of black paint might be enough.

:xconfused Arrgh! too many questions, not enough answers. Not sure what to do now. Blunder on blindly and make a right lash of it in my own unique idiom, probably :Giggle

Pete, yeah, thanks, mate, well chuffed to have her back. Hopefully once the powerplant frame\'s sorted, I can keep her away from Jason for more than a couple of weeks at a time!
