Looking sweet. You want a bit of dirt on the new bits to make it match.

Thanks, and yeah a complimentary off road trip may be necessary.

And I don't think the price to paint and fit the panels was to bad really.
I just need to buy a new bumper now, thinking about getting one of those 6mm thick led bumpers, but I'm not sure which one is best.

So I finally got a new bumper

The wiring for the drl that came with the bumper isn't long enough to reach the battery, you would have though the kit would actually fit

Old one is a bit buggered

Gave her a wash wax and polish

Never personally saw the point in fitting DRLs to cars that never had them. Looks nice all the same

Each to there own as they say, I really only got them as I needed a new bumper anyway, it was either this bumper or a tubular one.

In other news the military 110 passed its mot with no advisories, and now the red one is in for her service and mot, but she failed on the brake lines being corroded, so she's getting new brake lines, I can't wait for the bill! Ffs

Ooer. I suppose that's what happens when you let the garage do things. Hope it's not too exorbitant.

£600, but she then passed with no advisories.

At least they gave her a wash!

I'm easily amused:

Every time I look at her I get peed of with the checker plate, so I may remove it or paint it black, not sure what paint but the truck bed liner stuff looks good, raptor, upol etc, it just means it won't scratch of straight away.

Black Chequer plate will look good on red!

Been looking at that Raptor stuff as well. Got a sample from LRO looks almost identical to Line-X but DIY so cuts costs massively.

I got a full kit of raptor in the shed ready for mine, just not got around to using it yet because of the weather

The wheels look nice, the bumper is the same as mine and ive g8t to say I really like it too!

Let me know how it goes. I want to do my roof, bumpers, sliders n such. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than Line-X but is it as durable and tough?

Line-X want £700 to prep and paint all the parts I want done. Probably get it done with the Raptor stuff for £180 but seeing as its pretty bloody permanent I want it done right!

Finally got the drl's wired in:

Looks good man! I do love LEDs!!
