New rear end
« on: 23 April 2011, 09:00 »
Finally got it done with the help of my mate ian yesterday  :cool:

What it used to look like



And now back they way it should be  :cool:



Replace the rear bumper as well as there was some crappy butchered holes for the exhaust which were rubbish and didnt even fit the exhaust! and a massive hole drilled in the bumper for the wiring for the number plate light

oh yes and the best part was when i finally cleared all the dust of the tail gate where it had been sat in my room turns out the plinth on the rear is colour coded as well! the paint isnt perfect and some bits are flat but its perfect for what i need, plan is to respray the car at some point

and the best part i think is i swapped a 24 crate of stella for it  :grin: :cool: bargin!
