So where is your update and pics then Shaun? :laugh:



Its not that nice if you can see what I can!
Lots of pinholes and little digs that need filling!
But its not far away now.

Well except for how I fit the foglights in!
And I cant do that until they arrive! :angry:

I got in a mood last night as I have failed with the painting big time, spend some time trying to fix it.. wasted a lot of money on paint, not happy and not in the mood to share bad work right now.... *sulks*

Mardy git! :grin:

You think you got problems!
I painted the new slatted grille and colour paint went fine, then I used the laquer and got loads and loads of runs! :angry:
So now have to sand that all back, and I ran out of paint so have to get a load more from Stealer at £14 a pop!
To cap that I just had phone call from foglight supplier and they are out of stock in Germany so its going to be late next week or early the week after before I get them!
So now I am totally f**ked! My plans to fit the lights into the vent slats may have to be abandoned.

So stop feeling sorry for yourself Shaun! :wink: :laugh:

Ummmmm its all covered by several layers of glassfibre and filler so using non marine ply is not a problem! :wink:

Hey I'm not feeling sorry for myself but the mardy g1t bit is right.  :grin:

What i've painted so far looks pretty damn good IMO... But for some reason I can't get this bonnet right and what i've done to it now has wrecked it for the second time..  might just rat the spare for this weekends show!  :grin:

Why abandon?... you've still got a month?

Well abandon was a bit strong. I can fit them to the slat, on top as it comes with a fixing bracket.
But its unlikely I will be able to fix them how I want in the time scale.
I could take a chance and make the mould for it just from the dimensions given in the lamp's specs, but that has its risks!

Hmm, maybe not worth the risk considering the effort, maybe get a cheap OEM bumper to rock with while you're doing all this?
