Just Picked Up A Genuine R32 Front Bumper For £110
« on: 18 March 2013, 17:31 »
So the title is a bit misleading, I did pick up a genuine r32 bumper for £110 but it needs work but nothing me and the boys cant do in a couple weekends....the FK one just doesnt look right and before I wrap the car in a fortnight I wanna get this on to make it look proper. Will add some pics of the damage in a minute....already started on it this weekend and got quite far on it!

The first picture makes it look terrible



Not even that bad when I got it home although to the seller I did repeat the phrase "this is facked" more then once  :grin:


Then we started work on it














Started to rub it down but needs time to dry and the garage wasn't the warmest due to the weather so going to do the otherside this weekend along with the missing part going to use the valance bit from drivers side to mould. Also going to remove the lines its completely smooth.

 Then prime ready for when the wrap arrives.

300 quid bumper for under half the price just needed some effort. Thought might as well!

Had a genuine before but when we had the recession I had to sell due to working in mortgages and got made redundant. Never looked the same. This came up. Had to be done.

Shout out to Lloyds Tsb on the overdraft increase  :grin:

Wont be more pics till next weekend as a) we need to leave the back to dry and b) I dont have alot of free time at the moment.
