Default facelifting

helllooooooo ok im getting some inner wing work from a garage and he has told me that he is not happy fitting a new (probaly 98-00) bumper and bonnet or wing which is not an oe part, i was going to buy the wing and bonnet from [url=http://www.carz2.co.uk[/url] or similar and a bumper from www.nicedeals.co.uk, this is the bumper
i thought this would of been ok but he says that if there not oe parts then there might be gaps and he might have to spend more time sorting them out to fit, does anyone know if this is true. i having a hard time tracking down a local wing, facelift bonnet and bumper aswell. thanks all
ant

After market is a lot harder to fit. By brother has a knight sports RX7 that he spun a few months ago. He couldn’t source a Knight sports bumper so settled for one he found on the net. It took me longer to make it fit and fill all the pin holes in the fibreglass than it did to fit and spray a new door, wing, bonnet and pop up lights.
Id advise if you are going after market get a descent make and don’t look at cheap ones. His was £125 delivered. It would have cost him 3x as much in labour to fit if I had charged him.
