Well my car was looking a state..



So gave it a quick once over today...



Also had my GT grille arrive which I've seperated and stripped so it can be painted possibly in anthracite as a contrast to the black.



I just need to stay away from ebay now as I've just bought all the lower grilles and I should have my brand new fog lights arriving tomorrow so all thats left to buy at some point is the lower spoiler  :happy2:

Ebay is an addictive place!

Looking good so far, Should look 100 times better with the new bumper on!

Bit of a naff pic but its near enough complete, grille cover is just being painted and I've bought a cheap aftermarket spoiler to do for now.



As I've got this week off I'm gonna see if my friendly garage will bolt it all on for me, then I can sell all the old bits and get some pennies back.

4 screws in each liner, 4 or more underneath, 2 at the very front under the grille and the grille itself

I was the same about doing it all myself, In the end i just went for it and it all worked out fine. Just take your time and put ome masking tape on the wings so you don't scratch them.
