Firstly the bumper was stripped down and cleaned inside and out.
Once on a stand the state of the fittings on the underside were quite bad
So the were drilled out
and refirbed
with stainless fittings
Then bumper was stripped out and cleaned on the inside
and the paint was cut back with a machine polisher
and polished. I always find it easier to do the bumpers on a stand rather than on the car when machine polishing
Then bumper was built back up
before refitting the bumper another pressie arrived from Jules
so was fitted with the bumper off.
Shannon tube fitted
The bumper was then offered up and reconnected to the main car
Water for the headlamps washers
and the main loom for the bumper on the passenger side
and clipper up as per the OEM design
I then offer up the bonnet and clip it onto the wings.
With the lights just held on the sliders they move to accommodate the lights into the light apertures. The 9 x bolts were then added on top inot the slam panel. Also the screws go up through the arch covers into the wing on both sides and through the arch cover and onto the bumper. At this point I didn't do the under tray fittings as the under tray was coming off for the next job
I took this shot to show the difference between the bumper which has been mopped and polished and the wing which has not
and the finished article which really shows the difference between the bumper and the rest of the car (which will get the mop and polish treatment)
The front end finished from the top
and from the front
Next up the right hand side of the engine bay to complete and onto the jobs on the engine its self
