Cheers Lori… Thanks for the comments guys over the past few posts.. it makes me feel all fuzzy inside :lol:
I'll take a load of pics (if I remember!!) to show the Bumper removal process as i know a lot of ppl have asked in the past... and write up a how-to in the process...
-
Bumper is now fitted!!! Woo!!
here's the result….
Old Versus New….
My Hands are a fookin mess now tho!!! :lol:
-
Got some yellow lense fogs to go on and "tilt" number plate holder.
The fog housings need cleaned up a little.. gonna rub 'em down and repaint em before putting them on…. 8)
-
Looking good there mate, massive improvement!
Whats the idea behind a tilt number plate holder then?
-
The "official" idea is that the numberplate is tilted to push more airflow into the radiator area (especially if you have an intercooler etc.), however the "unofficial" idea is that the plate is tilted to partially obsure the plate from front facing GATSO's :lol:
I need to get a Jap style plate sometime… but for the moment the UK size plate will do...
-
sneeky ;)
-
I'll post a pic when i fit it.. :wink:
-
Some Pics to show the effect… The idea is the number plate looks normalat standstill.. but as you are driving along the plate "tilts" to direct air to the radiator/ hide from the fuzz... :wink:
As you can see it'd look better with an import shaped plate on… but it'll do the job for now.
-
Yellow fogs are now in :wink: 8) 8) 8)

I had a similar number plate on my scooby it flipped up when i started to drive. I loved in the police didn't but by the time they stopped and turned around i was gone. :twisted:
-
I live behind the local cop shop… nothing said yet.... I'll wait til they do :wink:
-
Well, The car has been idling like a bag of spanners lately…. So last night i went out and got this.....
As the original looked like this….
… idling nicer already!! And sounds soooo sweet!!!

they wont be so shiny when you get down here :(
All good for tomorrow, weather looks great for it, just remember to bring everything and just call my dad when you get into Hamble he will get you in past security or drive up to the gate and tell him you are there to meet Keith and he should let you in :D
-
Looks rather tasty :)

I don't reckon any of the car will be shining by the time i get down to you tomorrow :(
But hey… Sunday job (if it's not too cold) can be to clean it... although i'm going to manchester next weekend.. so maybe i'll just leave it dirty for a week.
