been to pick the front bumper, wing and arch liners i boughtm there in lucys garage...along with the rest of the interior of my car,
all needs spraying up ready for fitting, hopefully gonna get the FRP front splitter for it aswell soon, some slight rust on the bottom of the wing so thats all gonne be repaired and the bumpper looks like someone's had a cheeses grater on it in places but with some tlc and some filler it'll be good as new.
