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<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/d3ba90780cc5dc991c441552d84d307e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/b1b309df4481b6c9b051767b407d571c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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)<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/84ef370bd454eaa29349a100e0bb9ce0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/15f65493d33adbcf3dcd88aa8bdc0a22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So instead I used a few bolts Here it is after I finished this stage<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/8c1b23e027101b70c6d0fbc34edd1702.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/8200169a38fb598436b546ea9c50e6ff.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/87d12aafe968931579fcec542cc957aa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/0d8d6373eaaa2b1f932b3003352b1a60.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I also bought some new lights for it courtesy of r-reg-sr, look great <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/ec21d5bf977f3ea9fb2ee279f439c8a8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sent from my SM-G903F using <a href="https://siteowners.tapatalk.com/byo/displayAndDownloadByoApp?rid=73708" target="_blank">Micra Sports Club mobile app</a></blockquote>
