£500 for the pair , but the work it top notch , they cut out the rub strips , melted them back together with a red hot iron , then drilled holes along the seam , then filled the holes with plastic/chemical weld so it would bite deep into the plastic , skimmed with filler , the upper and lower halfs were rivited together to make them a bit more ridged then chemical welded together , THEN they were high build primered twice to make sure they were smooth and then painted :lol:

I prefer the bumpers on your car as they were before smoothed craig, the lines in the bumper look good.

Thought you were coming to see me?

i know :blush: i got a wee bit carried away with working away that i completely lost track of time and the next thing i knew i was heading to work :blush:

@colin theres only 4 people that know

looks like ive almost sourced a BAM engine from a TT , and theres a local company called Semtech who do engine conversion , went in and had a chat with the guy about doing the conversion , turns out one of his guys works part time in audi as a senior technician and works part time in Semtech . hes asked me to leave it with him for a couple of days just to try and work a few things out on the conversion so :D :D
