Each to their own, I love it 
Re: Eddie's E21 316
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

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
Re: Eddie's E21 316
I have a spare front bumper in decent nick. I liked it with thr front bumper as well. But maybe I should reserve judgement till I see it in person

Re: Eddie's E21 316
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

Re: Eddie's E21 316
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.
