Image

oil leak needs investigating.

looks like a new rad is needed, no doubt the cause of temperature gauge rising on way home.

Ignore luke. 'Back to black' is shit and only briefly covers the problem. Get a hot air gun on the bumpers and theyll look good as new. Then you can treat them periodically to keep them fresh :D

I tried a hot air gun on the golf bumpers and they faded again after a few months, used auto glym bumper gel and again it fades after a few months so I gave up in the end and now have half black half grey bumpers but not my problem cause I am breaking the hitler mobile now.

Battery fixing is on the foot of the battery, not over the top, so you wouldn't expect to see it in that photo.

Look engine side of the battery for a strip of metal with 2 10mm nuts

:340: I use tyre foam and Dashboard wipes on my bumpers and that works quite well! :)

Awesome work on the car, by the way ;-0

thanks, but bumpers are painted with satin black paint. :D

one down, three more to go(finish as started them!!!) needs a bit of lowering and could do with different tyres, but these will have to do for the back at the moment.
