That hood looks well smart. It gives the car a real mean look from the front.
You certainly have a good team around you helping with the work, very professional work
Keep the pics and info coming.

Okay,
Let’s see…
Bumper check..
Hood check..
Hood locks check..
Now mounting the WRC S7 headlights…
That was also not as easy, because the WRC car has no horizontal lock mount and hood lock catcher and of course the mount of the headlights are gone…
Because off the big intercooler that is mounted very high in the hood..
So I decided to keep the original headlamp mount on the car, and to make brackets for left and right.
This also wasn’t easy I can tell you…
Had to be going, something like this…
Step two was getting de Hella 90mm units in there…
It was a tight spot for the outer ones, so I hade to do some modifications…
This is how it’s going to be, but…
Still wasn’t happy with the brackets, so we made new ones…
Now I was happy with the end product, and was also ready to get painted black of course…
Also welded two mountings to mount the WRC front bumper…
So we could mount the bumper also…and look at the end product !
Next we are going to the painter…

We arrived at the paint shop…
Because it all are WRC S7 (GRP) replica parts, the fitment was not to my satisfaction..
So my hero had to do his magic…
first he had to make all the (how do you call that) seams? fit properly..
Its getting better already...
Also the hood was not forgotten...
Getting better with each picture don't you think?
Then when everything had a perfect fit, it's been de-mounted for more sanding and spraying...
Also the front wings came on turn...
Because I de-mounted all the extra's of the roof, it also need spraying...
The best way to do that is get everything out of the way, that’s why this guy has taken out the front windscreen...
Next everything was sanded down en sprayd in the primer polyester coating...
Also the body parts are done like that...
We did also change the wrc scoop from the inside, that mounting wasn't as clean as i would have liked...
That also has to get sprayed is, rear spoiler, skirts beause the old paint was broken...
Now they where taken off, I could wash en clean the parts where the skirt was...also (because of many trackdays) it was slightly damagd off the jack of changing wheels...so I straitnd everything and painted it with a speciaal paint for protaction...

The next day...
I let the scoop bonded on the hood,
this because everything is very light and of polyester...
But also i did not want to see any bonding or kit, that’s why here it's been washed in... and will look like oem.
The guy's at the painter had a surprise for me...
I think they turned out very nice, black but not to glossy...
My hero at the spray/body shop, is making a practical joke with me here, because I asked him to be extra careful with my baby...
But everything has come to a end, back to work...
This guy is really a wizard... (Thnx mate )
This one is ready for paint, its been sanded down with waterproof sandpaper..
At this picture you see a strip with magnets, it prevents that the sandpaper
will hit the door and scratch it...
The guy's also toke my skirts under hands (this wasn’t planned thnx guy’s)...
Well this it for now...
Won't take long now.. can't wait...
