lovely work Adam
I must admit I liked the blue pinstripe in the bumpers but it works just as well without them.

Adam, you surprise me everytime, that's a very good job and so quick!

Shame it's the driver headlight that was broken, I have a brand new RHD passenger headlight here that I can't use in Europe of course.

Crikey Adam, you look like Farrell on his way back from one of his infamous "parties in the woods". How he gets the young ladies to agree I'll never know...

Awesome work, as ever.

Did the front panel and horizontal panel pull flat enough to avoid filler?

I'm not convinced about the bonnet paint, but I like the 360 bumper upgrade :)

cheers

Not flat enough to avoid filler, just a skim to remove hammer and dolly marks...
