Just want to tidy up the underside of the boot, it's literally just going to be a trimmed panel!

Pushed outside



So I could prime the boot, wings and bolts for the wings





Got some fog covers too! Odd colours but both gen Subaru.

I guessing anyone who's not followed this build would notice that bumper but it looks great - I am envious of the colour though

Thanks Jon subtle is the name of the game. A close friend hadn't spotted half the mods on my last car until I pointed them all out to him The back bumper on this car is my favourite part Colour was a brave choice but I must admit it looks awesome in the flesh - even if I do say so myself!

I really do need a bigger garage for these projects though!

The little discs were held in place with my trusty magnet



and tacked on






Ground back, filled and sanded



And a quick dusting of etch primer!

Bootlid and wings fitted. Starting to look like a car slowly!! Amazing what the light in my garage does to the colour. Makes it look a lot brighter than it is. The top pic is more like the real life colour!
