I made that bumper like that. Sorry to see my old lude coming to bits

At least my CF bonnet still looks good.

yes that is your old bumper Bri and a unique one at that - and your old CF bonnet

. Ive had to do a fair bit of work on the bumper to get it back into shape and also paint the spoon lip black but the bonnet went on no probs - still needs to be properly aligned when i put the milano red wings on tho

sorry to say your old lude is gone Bri - all that remains is its heart - (engine and gearbox).
all of the parts have been spread around the lg community which is a good thing

how are you getting on with your new build?

There's a chap on the ATR forum who has a red ATR with black lips and skirts, doesn't look right and kind of makes the car look miles off the ground.

Are you planning on painting the side skirts black as well?

I was suprised when I heard it was in a bad way when you guys bought it, I thought it was well looked after and he never mentioned the damage when he offered it back. Oh well, I will live. My project is on hold at the moment, not sure if I will be keeping the silver one now because I spotted a red one, the silver one may be sold, or for sale or a breaker to raise cash for another milano red one if I can do it in time before its sold. Its all up in the air yet again. I think I need a milano red one again. You like how much filler I used on the bumper?

Nice one, I horrified they treated my lude like that. The tyres were near new and a full set of parada 2s yeah. I think you have done the right thing then chaps. I would like my old cam cover back if you would p/x it for a fresh one I have spare. That would be nice

just signed on and got you pm about the cam cover - i dont see why we can do that for you - plus ive kept your reg plate as well if you want that back. give me another week or so and i will get back to you on that

p.s just as well that you put a fair bit of filler on the bumper as it had taken quite a few knocks and cracked on both sides.

good point Shiny! not considered that

mind u accords do look like they sit a bit higher than a lude
i was going to fit the bumper and see how it looks with the black lip first before looking at painting the sideskirts
the back lip is phantom grey so would probably need to get that painted milano red if i dont go with black all round.
