Bodyshop in Cork

[Neil]

I'm just waiting for the guy I've chosen to do it to be ready for me at this point, I'm booked in for Monday week.
Its actually snowballed into quite a big job - Aero spoiler, Topmix blended bumper from bumper with replacement grill, Lightholes fitted and blended into that bumper, + lights replaced, and a few smaller things while he's at it like rubber window thingies fitted and clear side repeaters etc.
Should look the nuts when its ready though...


Next up - mongoose exhaust + decat pipe

Also whoever was saying this wont be a cost saving exercise was deadright. When I saw the lightholes I thought for some reason what it would be cheap and easy but its definately not, and as has been mentioned already the finish on them is very poor.

In hindsight it probably wouldve cost the same of less to go for my ideal of the facelift dc lip front but still.. im lookin forward to my finished product nonetheless

Found some halo lights that should fit into the indicator holes... the installation shop sells them, APC fog lights.

It seems to have the capability to be any of 7 colours hopefully it can be wired so they'll just stay white! Good size though, 72mm holes and these are 69mm diameter apparently. Once I can stick indicator bulbs or colour these amber they might do the job.

Found them for $40 on ebay too so not too bad pricewise.

hmm!! sounds good kev, my facelift bozz is being shipped next week so i'll be needing to sort out my lights and mesh soon enough!!

Finally got to book the car in to get this done, booked in for 17th, should take 2-3 days. Going with Bodyimage.

I'll have mine back tommorow (finally!), been in over 2 weeks now due to the panel beater getting the flu

I'll get photos soon as I have it back anyway, so a bit of preview of the your front bumper for you then Kev!

[Neil]

Still dont have the car, something to do with connectors for the VW and MG lights

Yeah, you need to do some custom work to get power to the supplied connectors, did you not spot that in the facelift upgrade guide?

cheers CJ
