Yea the paint is immaculate. But few rust emergencies have to be taken care of asap.

The cars on gaz adjustables so once i get the wheels i want and get a sump guard made ill slam her to the max. Which isnt stupidly low. But a nice drop. Confused on which wheels to get.

So today the front bumper came off. Amazing condition with no rust at all. Time to dechrome. The body itself has a nasty 2p sized rust spot and some scratching.

Iv sanded the bumper. Just doing finishing touches and its going to get a coat of self etching primer....primer.... And matt black paint to finish it off :banana

Some de-chromed bumpers would really suit this colour. Some dark coloured rims with polished lip would be a nice look too. :boogie

Are you going with single headlights?

You could do a sort of green version of Neeks car?

I prefer OE kidney grill though.

Neeks car was my inspiration. I saw his car n thats what wanted me to get an e21. Single headlight will come after exhaust and wheels. Cant wait

So. Painting of the bumper finished in my own version of a home made 'paint booth'. Looks much better than i thought. Just have to put on the rubber trim on the bumper which seems to be tricky at the moment because the paint increased the thickness of the bumper. So the clips aren't exactly fitting on. But a solution shall be found!!!!! :wtf
