Amber Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Looks like you're smartening it up nicely All red rears are a lot nicer than those so good choice to strip them in my opinion. Door cards look lush too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I think someone was asking about replacing the botton bit of the bumper the other day... apparently its part of the bumper, so the whole back bumper will need replacing. Bit annoying really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoying really!thats a bit sh*t i'll go round my local scrap yard and see how much i'll be to get a bumper, i seen a lupo in there the other day.
