Didnt get a lot done due to family stuff and a kinda wasted trip to the Hospital.

Did some finishing work on the front wing and that went ok.
Using another paint colour on the bumper to try and save on the proper colour, but that cheap paint from Halfords is causing its own problems!
Made the mould and formed the two foglight hoders.

Pics later.

The paint problems dont show up too well, its all pitted just in certain areas.
Will just have to sand it back and try another primer.


The foglight surrounds are just one layer of mat fibreglass so far. Dont think I need to make them any thicker.
Have to cut into the vent slat to fix them in next.

It's not just the paint. Its the filling. :huh: Painting over bad prep work will eventually show through. Not sure the max power style works on a mk3 :undecided:

It's very clever of you to make those fog light surrounds all by yourself. :afro:

Looks very ........... er.............good.  :undecided:

On a serious note, shame about the finish but I'm sure you will sort it. Good effort trying to fab your own style bumper. Very impressed and well done for the amount of work you have put in so far. Sure it will look ace when finished, and I look forward to seeing it when finished.  :wink: :smiley:
