Andy, did you have fun taking off and re-fitting the bumpers? :lol:

fun

£1300 quids worth of plastic, did they fit, did they :shock:

the rear bumper had been stored in a bent condition so when fitted to the car it was hanging out on the off side,. the front one, none of the side mounting holes lined up :roll:

well thats hand built cars for you

Looks fantastic, though Andy. As for bumpers, it's bad enough getting the GTA bumper off and on when it's the original one.

We shall not speak of the bolts just in front of the wheelarch.... :evil:

No, thank you Andy for taking the time to detail and photo the repair. I know it is a pain to reach for the camera when hands are covered in crap as I have had intentions of doing the same on my smaller scale jobs and given up at the first greasy fingerpirnt on the camara. Lee as well, good work and keep it up!

It started chucking it down on the way home, stair rods :roll:

However I reverted back to "Captain Slow" and nursed old Merlin home.

Many Many Thanks to Andy with all his hard work, the attention to detail is superb

The actual finish is Factory fresh, the photo's do not do it justice.

I felt like I was picking it up from a Renault dealer in January 1994

Cheers Andy, top job :!:
