Yeah your not wrong ha ha!
Ive now got a load of plastics in my garage im undecided what to do with.I want to retrim them the same as the headlining with cream leather but ive got so much to do that ive been putting off till he goes away,that i might not have time and it's not a job i want to rush as,as usual i want it perfect.
I might spray the plastics black and just do the headlining for now.Then buy a set of spare plastics to have a play with.

Amazingly i didnt break ONE clip.I congratulated myself with the easter egg my missus bought for her nephew! :evil:

Ha, chocolate tastes better with that secret ingredient, crime.  :grin:

Feck it, just go for the stripped out look instead, that way you can tell yourself you're nearly finished!  :grin:

^^ what Shaun said  :grin: :grin:

I'm liking the back  :cool: never been a fan of the flushed look, can't wait for it to be painted up. Then i can decide on whether or not that will be making an appearance on my ride!  :grin:

Im liking the stripped out idea!!!Ha ha only for the fact i can say it's done! :evil:

As for the flushed look,tbh i was never a massive fan myself but i really wanted to do something a little more drastic than just getting rid of the wiper and badge.(I must like making work for myself eh! :grin:

Im really pleased with how the bumper came out although im wishing i had grafted in a us spec plate tub.Soooo when the time comes for me to hack a front bumper a little to fit a cooler for the vr6 lump i think i will make another for the back and sell that one. :grin:

I was impressed with your rear bumper too, I hate it when people do a flush tailgate and then ruin it by randomly slapping a plate on with bodged lights.

Well if you did do another one I don't think you'd have any trouble selling the current one.

Yeah id like to think id get £50 or so for it.
I agree with you regarding the plate,it's a pet pieve of mine seeing a random sticky numberplate stuck somewhere,or a jap plate stuck on one corner.
If your gunna do it DO IT PROPERLY! :grin:
