cheers dude. im trying hard and hopefully the car will turn out as good as some on here!
finished up the bumper today.
fog holes are now gone.
pretty happy with how it turned out.
the red is some paint i applied when it was nearly complete to show me where i had ridges and grooves etc.
just need to get it painted now.
i used fiberglass and resin mix on the back of the fog holes, with some mesh for reinforcement.
then used p38 car body filler on the front.
skimmed across using a finer filler.

UPDATE: on the money front!
finally got a job in this stupid credit crunch, so money will now be coming in...
which means the bumper will be sprayed SOON!
next up is skirts, coils, a wing and new front lips.
can't decide if coils or a wing are more important.
anyways hope you guyz are liking how the jazz is coming along

UPDATE: Bumper is being sprayed as I type this.
So will be on the car in the next few days
Contacted my local Honda dealership about Skirts.
They want £340 for them, not painted, just in primer.
What have other people paid for theirs?

havent updated this thread in a while
most of you know by now i got the front end on and finished.
got the grille parts too that i needed so its all tidy at the front. (not shown in photo)
as of now, the wheels are being refinished again.
i liked the blue but it didnt really go with the car.
and im a perfectionist so i wanted them finished better.
my powdercoater has 2 of them and i should get them back in the next few days.
then ill drop the other 2 off.
they are being finished in a chrome silver powder.
which is a high reflect silver paint that replicates a chrome finish.
hopefully they should look awesome.
look to get there on the car by next month if all goes to plan
after that, i have coilovers to buy, and skirts to buy.
then a spoon wing and other bits and bobs by the end of the year.

Heard from my powdercoater today. My BBS's will be ready for collection on saturday.
So excited to see how these 2 wheels have turned out.
Will be dropping the other 2 wheels off as I collect these 2.
To pass the time, he sent me a photo of a set of wheels he recently did in the chrome finish.
So here's the teaser...

Updating this thread as I havent in a while.
Just gonna add the photos and stuff from the other threads I have posted up.
Did my Rear Wiper mod, so that it sits upright.
Has helped out so much later, doesnt collect crap on top of the blade.
Got all of my wheels back from the powdercoaters and built them up.
Sprayed the centre hex's satin black, and got new red and chrome centre cap decals to go over the original black ones.
Heres the pics, first one is when I test fitted them, others are from having them all on when I did a little photoshoot with one of my buddies.
Then i got my Spoon Duckbill, installed that, really happy with how it looks.
Went out and took some photos after I gave it a wash.
And thats my car up to date as of the moment.
Although I have many plans for the next few months.
Skirts should be here and on the car within the next month i hope, looking foward to majorly! Will finish off the body nicely.
Also as you can see from the last couple of photos, the BBS's are off the car at the moment. Car is ready for winter and is filthy after like 2 days since i washed it. Roads are salty and horrible and I'm not risking ruining the wheels when I have spent so much time and effort on them looking right.
While they are off the car, I will hopefully be widening the front to match the rears with new lips, and also get new bolts and new polished centre hex's and caps if i can afford it.
New tyres will come too, slimmer and more stretch.
I have new license plates on the way, and a few little decals too.
And I got my Spoon resevoir covers in the post today so will put them on tomorrow.
Hope everyones good and comment away, tell me what you think.
