The master (Sharky!) at work on my bumper

Well, it's getting there, my full 3.5 conversion that is!
Attached are some pics of Sharky hard at work on the final piece to the puzzle (front bumper)
Not quite as simple as it looked as one of the mounting points was busted and needed a replacement fashioned, coupled with other cracks/dings here and there, but it's starting to fall into place! Also with it being my car, something had to go wrong, few bolts breaking off etc, but hey! :lol

Just gotta wait on bits coming from Korea, and then it'll be painted along with spoiler + side gills. Obviously I'll post some before and after shots when it's done!

It would have been...if I'd bought all parts new. Through ebay and being patient, all the parts have cost Â£385 (thats for front and rear lights, rear fogs, bumper, all bumper accessories + side gills. Gotta add labour + painting of bumper/gills on top of that, but even with that it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than the difference in price between a 3/3.5!

Finally got the trim bits (gills, grills, fogs + fog covers) through from Korea, so can now be painted, and will be done hopefully soon!
Just an update pic with the bits test fitted!

saw this bumper today while at sharky's. all i can say is what a beautiful shade of pink it is . mind you i think the fag burns and the ingrained ash on it look good too!! its a bit uncomfortable to sit on. think you should get some more seats sharky so that when we do pop in to see you we can sit in comfort while you work :rollin

sorry smoke your fags
