As some of you know, my engine has died spectacularly. So while i wait for another one, I got bored and planned a fun night in with my other car parts...

I dont like fog lights as an aesthetic. I appreciate they have their benefits but i prefer a bit of smoothness over being able to see, any day of the week. so......

Everything a man needs for a fun packed evening of filling, sanding and spraying....
Image

fibre glass first, for strength.
Image

Then filler, over filled so I can smooth it down to the contours of the bumper.
Image
Image

Lots of sanding, a bottle of wine and a sh*tload of filler dust later....
Image
Image

Then I realised i didnt have another tin of filler in the cupboard, couldnt do the other side, drank another bottle of wine and gave up until tomorrow.

More to follow tomorrow.

ps, the bumper is a cheap fibre glass job, anyone have any idea what it is? I was given it as an mtech 2 rep but it doesnt look like it to me....

I drink wine, but I have no favourites. i dont know what it was, it had 12.5% on the label so was good enough for me.

Well said. I think I fall into the getting arseholed on it bracket... I'm far from sophisticated.
