Decent day in the garage for once and the 110 has moved on a bit 
First off was to sort the bumper I'd picked up at the Newbury Sortout, due to the 3" body lift the bumper looked all wrong and sat way to low when fitted in the correct place.....

Bit of welding to fit modify the mounting brackets, a quick coat of acid etch and topcoated in Plastikote satin n jobs a good un...

Bumper now sits 2" higher (the most I could go without causing problems with the flip front....

then it was the pig of a job to fit the DRL's... whoever designed the brackets on the bumper needs shooting

jobs a good un and doent interfere with the front opening at all.....

then attention was turned to the filler cap.... and the chequer plate cover installed, I know you can get plastic ones but I wanted chequer to match and it gave me an excuse to break out the yellow pop rivets lol, catches are rated to 9KG whereas the flap weighs a few grammes, theres a second catch to fit when i get it and it folds down making a nice fuel cap shelf when filling

finally back to the front as I needed to do a bit more on the front arches, a few people thought the DRLs below the headlamp were fitted to one side but there was method in my madness

the front arches overhang slightly as they dont follow the front curve of the wing ....

so the DRLs were offset knowing I would be making a filler panel to blend the wing to the front panel.....
WP_20141026_13_50_13_Pro by The_Wild_Boar, on Flickr
so out came the galv sheet and a bit of trimming n fettling n jobs done... just waiting for em to dry and will fit in the week.... and once fitted the DRL's will be central to the wing end / grill panel ...

All in all one of those rare good productive days
