Right i have finally got her back from the shop all things finished, was a late night monday finishing it all off.
As well as the crash repair, it now has 360 style painted bumpers, extended rear arches, (wider and lower) and fibreglass bonnet.
The reason for the flat grey is actually to take your eye off the fact its a fibreglass bonnet as gloss paint would of showed it up too easily. Althouth i fancied something a bit different, also four new Toyo T1R tyres.

Looks good mate! Any tip offs for getting the aero catches cheap? I need a lockable pair on my front bumper, cheapest I can find is rally design.

We'll have you sorted indicator wise soon as :D

Front bumper? No i think they are about the cheapest. For your bumper i would look at pip pins and locking dzus fasteners and the likes. Aero catches are a bit overkill really.

I know they are overkill, but I just want something quick lockable and one handed that doesn't have a pointy thing sticking out...

Good fast work, mate! Are you going to go back to orange indicators or try and source another clear one?
