So this weekend I started sanding down my super s bumper. I got this a few months ago off a friend who'd bought it off his brother, who had bought it of their cousin who had gotten it from England. I managed to buy it for a tenner[emoji106].


This is the state I got it in from my friend


When I got it both the lights were fecked and it had also been "modified" by some ape who cut out the number plate recess


The first thing I set about doing was remaking the number plate holder and also strengthening it back up cos it was fierce wobbly. I did this by cutting and bending an old piece of facia board from the roof of the house. I used an old jig my dad had made for making new keels for the boat and a heat gun to bend it (which caught fire as I was finishing this)


After the incident with the heat gun I started about attaching the new piece to the bumper. I was going to use rivets because I had loads of them but the were just a bit too short.

So instead I used a few bolts


Here it is after I finished this stage


Next I went about filling in the bits at the sides where the centre bar had been cut out. I used some old plastic I had lying around and then I screwed and glued them in. After that I fibreglass fillered over them to get them fairly smooth and then body filler over that




I also bought some new lights for it courtesy of r-reg-sr, look great
