Got some more done today..

First, a few more shots of the oil cooler duct..







And a quick shot showing how it meets up to the inside of the bumper..



So today was spent with the lower skirt on the front bumper.

Normally, I have seen these fitted to the bumper with either a series of rivets, or self tapper screws along the top edge of the skirt.

I didn't want that, so devised a method of hiding the fixings....

Basically I needed to create a slot in the underside of the front bumper, as seen here marked out with a pen line...



I then cut this out, and fabricated a return edge on the inside of the bumper, to which the skirt fixes to..

Sounds simple eh..?

Errr, not quite, but I managed it in the end after about 5 hours graft, although no 'in progress pics', as I was too damn busy doing it..

Anyway, ended up with this result..







It looks a bit wobbly, but this is due to the skirt being a touch too long enough, so I think once the ends are trimmed off neatly and to the correct size, it should look OK...

Todays work done, and another item crossed of my mini-list....
