Please put the bumper on.

I saw this car when Creedon had it, and it was pretty good then, he had talked about getting the paint done, and I'm glad that you're doing such a cracking job on it.

However it would look better with the bumper on.

At least you don't appear to have "Euro super fab stretch tyres" unlike others on this forum :protest

The valance has been smoothed so I can't put the bumper on if I wanted to.

A car like this is the reflection of the owner. I like the cleaner looks of a de-bumpered front end, that's my taste and I'm sticking to it :)

Come on Jim, you're reminding me about a guy on the zone who left because he was so upset about someone going for the rusted look on their bonnet. As someone once said to me - they can use their front seat as a toilet if they felt like it - at the end of the day it's their car :lol:

So yeah, as some of you know, the E21 unfortunately failed it's MOT on the Saturday just passed.

Happily the issues it had appear to be sorted, and it'll be getting retested in time for Trax.

For now, a couple of photos from the other day, where the car received a nice in depth detail, finishing with a coat of Zaino Z2.

Looks brand new, only better. You've done well.

I reckon you should probably paint the exhaust pipe and muffler silver or black though.
