Have a look at Top Cat's old thread. He managed something similar and it looked gorgeous.

 :surprised: Agreed - it looks like it's gone AWOL!

I wonder whether TC deleted it when he sold the car?

worth PMing him and asking for pics. Am sure there will be a few.

Have seen some done quite badly though.
Was going to get mine done like this, local garage said they doubt they could do it properly, and the guy who did TC's has shut shop too

IIRC TC had trouble with getting it done from one bodyshop.

Looks awesome though.

If you like the one piece style bumper the thunderbunny rear like Steve P's is very nice.
