Thanks bud, the wheels haven't seen the road yet but somehow they're now dirty already!!!!

In the flesh I quite like the colour difference in the whites, if they changed colour they'd go black, I doubt I'd pay for another white shade of paint

Maybe I will then, they just look so nice black I was having different thoughts Not 100% sure on the drop, being 2nd hand springs, could be anywhere between 30-40mm, it's hard to tell

Looking good there Cliff it's starting to come together now

Before you paint the front bumper are you going to remove the two washer jets there?

It depends on how much extra it costs Si. I don't mind them myself and if it's going to cost another £50 (I have no idea how much) to fill the holes then I'll just leave them with the washers in

Thank you. Slowly getting there, it's nice to have a project car with no real completion timescales

Now I also have to decide if I use the version 3/4 grill, or the version 5/6?!!!!
(both seen above) and whether to keep the splitter and splash guards black or spray white?!!!

imo

go with the v5/6 grille, if you keep the splash guards, then they should be white. But if you want a splash of black then maybe black mudflaps??

more of the lip needs to be white i think, maybe leave a small bit along the bottom black??

All white for me and the v5/6 grille as it looks more balanced with the front bumper.

I must admit, the black splitter and splash guards look is very different, one reason I was toying with keeping them, but this morning I've woken up feeling they need to go white.
The worst that can happen is I spray them white, regret it, the have to spray them black, not really a huge deal.
The only issue is..... my splash guards are rubber. Can these be sprayed or is there plastic versions out there?

As for the grill, I guess the V5/6 grill looks better suited to the bumper, I was thinking the V3/4 looked a lot more aggressive?

Get them wrapped white Cliff and run with them and in time you will know which way to go

Yes the rubber can be painted, there is an additive that the sprayer will include in the mix which will make the paint flexible and allow it to bond on the rubber spats.

Good info Si, thanks for that. I have a new laptop and no Photoshop, which has always been my best friend, but it should be installed within a couple of weeks, so I'll paint the car on there first

I almost certainly will now. The car looks almost finished in the photos but in truth it needs lots of paint and many more days/weeks.
These are the stages where I can fit parts, stand back and have a look

The 22b vents, main bonnet scoop, front bumper, fog covers, splash guards, splitter and side skirts, all need paint, so far from the finished article
