COPIED OFF UK-MKIVS


Bit of an update i didnt like my plastic welds as i took the strip off and they were abit flexi so put a strip of fiberglass on the rear to strengthen it up abit and its done the trick will put another layer of weave on tomoz rather than the matt i used today and it will be industructable ...... When its on the car lol also i was planning on blending the spraying i do in but i had a proper inspection of the bumper there was loads of bodgy chip repairs and dents from stones so i thought F*** it il spray the whole lot ive sprayed mirrors grilles and spoilers before and theyve all come out very good so hopefully the bumper will be just as good (famous last words) Also ive attempted to smooth out the groove on the golf strip ......

Why oh why do people screw number plates on there was 6 in total !!!!


My plan of attack is going to be;

2 layers of plastic primer 

1200 grit it flat

Filler primer where needed

1200 gritt flat

2 more layers of primer then flat back again

2 layers of colour then flat with 1500

2 layers of colour then flat with 2000 gritt

3/4 coats of laquer flat again and polish the shizen out of it !!! 

What do you reckon anni valance or a new black one

Little update on this
Bumper primered



More fiddling with rubstrip


2 coats of paint


I wasnt happy with the rubstrip so i picked up a complete bumper of ebay for 99p to be able to use my car and have another attempt at the rubstrip


This time ive cut the recess out of my old rubstrip and used jb weld to stick it on ! Then im going to counter sink some screws in for the sake of it really even though the jb weld is strong enough sand it flush then shape it all up with bumper filler

Half polished
