Ebay has some mate. You need to use it sparingly and it doesnt go far.

Ok so not much going on, my only free day has been hampered by rain. Last night me and the Mrs treated the front bumper on the kitchen floor, got it fitted back on, it will do for now but will need a few coats of treatment to start staying the same colour. Rear is nearly finished also. Still need to remove the boot trim and sort out the light trim I lainted black though.

i think i am going to go down the gtt swap route for ease of fitment, i know its a bit of a cop out but @mike wilson has said he has everything available for the conversion, WIN. Have a number for a local guy who can do a windscreen at a decent price. Will also need to visit the brakes as they will need up-rating. Wheels and tyres will also need addressing.

all engine bits now ordered up and paid for :allthethings:

Ok so i spent so long on the trim restorer, was very impressed to start with, and then it rained!!!!!! And left run marks all over the place! Pissed off!
Anyway I had seen some dark grey bumper paint so thought I'd give it a try, and I'm very impressed. Colour is a little light but I think it works well with the colour of the car.

What do you guys think? You can see the bumper in one of the pics and how bad it's got in less than 1day.

Looking at those pictures @Adeyspec i'd say get stuck in matey!

Bumper paint looks good but i would be wary of it flaking off

ill keep an eye on it, i gave everything a good scrub before hand, i have used the black stuff previously and it lasted well so fingers crossed

from gt turbo spares on ebay they are copies but look good, only thing i did was trim the rubber seal a little on the inside to stop in bulging out

I didnt mean the 1.1, but actually thats a very good idea. See how long it lasts with a hundred shot.

60m is my guess :0)

Boot trim now painted

Looking good Ewok!!

You need to be careful mate, this is uncharted territory for you, all this clean OE look... Usually there's a big sticking plaster and some florescent wingmirrors on there by now..

 

[Adey]

indeed it is, and its scary! saying that the le car was a clean looker?

But scraping it's belly in the weeds, obviously modified..

I think if you keep the OE looks of the Campus with banded OE steels and the C1J running gear you'll be onto a winner winner chicken dinner!

it needs to be lowered though..............................................
