Picked up my Cervini front lip which I bought from the states the other day. So today, a friend and I fitted it.
The front lip is an FRP plastic which requires spraying prior to fitment. Not being fussed about colour coding the lip, I decided I'd do it matt black myself, seeing as it'll probably need touching up a few times in its life, this makes repairs much easier and less costly.
So, to start, it was a trial fitment. Have to say, this is the best fitting bit af after market body kit I've ever had. A very slight tension in the part means it holds itself on perfectly. All the pre drilled holes line up with the stock stuff too, making fitment very very easy.
Then came the prep. Rubbed the part down with a fine grit pad to key the surface, following a clean with the surface cleaner wipes, along with tack pads.
We also fashioned hanging the lip from the garage roof using speaker wire and bungie cords
Then came 4 coats of plastic primer, another key with 600 grit paper, and the spraying begins.
Because it was so darn cold, we hurried the process with my wifes hair dryer (god forbid she finds out).
6 coats in all and shes all done,
I've not got any good pics of it fitted yet as it got a dark, they'll come later. For now these'll do.
