i said that mate but he dont want everything white lol

[Richieintransit]

Pics as promised, hopefully it will look better once I have polished the rest,, hope the paint matches, but I do want it blown over eventually anyway if anyone knows someone who will do it at a reasonable price for me please let me know



looks a bit bare without bumper

bumper in primer after I welded it up using bits of my old bumper

end caps primed

mate I dread to think how much it's cost, wish they did bigger tins, I just prefer the way it sprays than the stuff I get from the body shop, I used 2 cans on just the bumper and end caps,,,, and a tin of primer,,, that's 2x6.99 and 7.99, that's £21.97 just in bumper paint
I'm sure the amount of cans I've used I could have had a pro respray done lol

ive still got to do 2 bumpers, a bonett and boot..and mabey some other little bits

I spent today putting this darn bumper on, it was so bent up that none of the holes lined up, but after lots of jacking and fiddling I managed to get it on, allbeit a little wonky but I Must say it still looks pretty good, so I'm pleased with the results, it's been a lot of work but it's on now and looking good







one question,, if I don't have a towbar fitted but the socket is there does it need to be wired up for mot? or can i just leave the unwired socket on as long as no towbar??

Nice bumper there mate, it does look good.

Re. the trailer socket,
Only 13 pin trailer sockets are checked for MOT not the standard 7 pin 'S' type, so as long as it dos not adversely effect the operation of other vehicle lights then you will be ok.

cool thanks for that mate,

[Richieintransit]

added something new today that I bought ages ago,,,, I know you won't like them vandalism But I think they look cool and make the van stand out better than rusty or painted wheels

[Vandalism]

That's one way of covering the broken grille

[MinorMatt]

Those bumpers are great

The one I had that rotted out had taken out several cars, concrete and metal posts in car parks and even wrote off an iron gate! (Whilst still in student union ownership!)

I am on the lookout for another one now
