Thanks bud, yeah its lining up absolutely spot on considering

need to adjust the bonnet by a fraction as its a little to far over to the passenger side, but tbh I just chucked the bonnet on any old way

just for a rough idea

< on the plus side I managed to get the bumper on yesterday so have more pics to upload check them out you will see what I mean by the bonnet needing adjusted. Also added a couple of shot's with the full damage it had sustained before I even started any repair work, all of you may it recognise as I bought it through LG

Thankfully now its ready for the paint work woo hoo

Ah yeah, I recognise it now.

You know you can get the pictures to display in the thread on on here rather than people having to go looking at them?

If you view the pic in photobucket, on the right hand side there's a grey box that has 4 links in it. Click in the IMG box and it'll copy the contents to clipboard. Paste that into the message thread and it'll display.

Even though I have seen recent threads with displayed pics

cheers for that I will try it out the now

1 week later I finally figure it out how to get the pic directly on the thread

cheers for the advice wurlycorner

I was gonna paint her straight away, but as it stands now I don't have another car cause my summer toy broke down

so she will have to go on the road asap and I may take time off nxt month to paint her

It's great to drive a stunner, isn't it!

(seriously though, good work and well done for replacing the slam panel rather than just straightening it like I did - that's the bodge way

)

Well just a wee update guy's that's her painted with exception of the bonnet I've decided to go for 4d carbon wrap that and my compressor packed in mid painting , also decided to colour code the fog lamp surrounds which I think was a good call cause they look mint

VIC check tomorrow then wait really impatiently for the V5 to tax her

Also picked me up a set Genuine ATR Wheels with rubber for a Tonne
