Not the cheapest but good place trustworthy 

[Miggs]

Yeh that's the longer ones, I only have a set of the short ones I'm afraid

[ugly1]

well i have purchased some indicators  

so while waiting for them to arrive i set to making the front bumper look good 

i bought some wire mesh for the front of the bumper and sanded all of it down and primed it   

next is to prime it white and then top coat and lacquer

 

 

 

while i was at it i removed my mudflaps and put some subaru stars on them and removed the STI stickers.  the stars are not stickers, they are sprayed on with a stencil i made

What sort of mesh did you buy mate I would recommend giving it a good coat of something too. I bought some mesh for another car started to go orange after about 6 months :(

But still looking great so far :)

[ugly1]

i bought some pre-coated mesh  but was thinking of spraying it again to make sure, i have had that problem before, so better be safe than sorry.

 

also another update  yeah i know i don't let the grass grow under my feet, coz i want to get it done now

Love the 22B bumpers, is it not wider than a standard one?

Looking good and coming along nicely, I like the mud flaps, subtle but cool

[Gambit]

Not to try add pressure but I'm expecting this to look pretty smart time it's done :) 

[ugly1]

lol no pressure then.

 

i am stll driving it around while trying to do bits here and there  and i think it looks very different to when i 1st got it

[Gambit]

99.9% better already I know who to come to with stolen car's now ;) definitely looks better now those pictures prove it.

Massive difference - really great result!!

[Miggs]

That is a huge change, and for the better too

[ugly1]

ok i had a few hrs spare this morning 

so thought i may as well have a bit of a go at my front bumper again.

i removed the black coated mesh i had bought for it and replaced it with silver mesh and also gave it 4 coats of lacquer   the mesh included   to protect it more 

 

let it sit now for a few days let lacquer harden, while i wait for my indicators to arrive 

 

[Scooby Pete]

Looking nice, lots of hard work gone into that :)

[Exup1000]
