barneybrendan Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I spent all day repairing the wings and trying to line them up.After a lot of reeming and some reglassing i am nearly there.the only issue now is around the headlights as this is not sitting flush.Going to have to recut the bracket on the inside of the wing and position it better on both sides..For genuine they are not a very good fit.I could really do with the bumper now to help align the wings with the lights.

ripped_fear Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 wide body only looks good when it follows the original lines, i hate these square kits, the ridox looks great, although if it was going to be a road car the rivet things on the rear archs would have to go imo! but it does look amazing!

However, as soon as the graphics start showing their age (through wear), they need replacing with new, otherwise it starts to look terrible.

barneybrendan Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) borrowed a facelift front bumper today so thought i would get it sort of fitted.Just waiting for the bumper brackets to get deliverd and get some facelidt bumper indicators.Also borrowed some black side pods ,so car is looking real crap at the moment.The plan is to get it through an mot and use it as i am doing the bodywork changes.the ridox front wings look even better now there is a bumper on . I only just realized the ridox front wings dont have any provisions for fixing the arch linners,Going to have to do more fibreglassing and put a panel in that will take the original linners now.What is the best thing to spray the wiper arms with as they are looking real scabby.

barneybrendan Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 still looking for passenger sid ebumper bracket.I found a drivers side one with a broken stud,so i cut it off and drilled it out.Then i got my 7 year old son to weld another bolt in as he has been asking to help for ages. (he did actualy weld it hiself i just stayed close and kept an eye on him.)Thats the drivers side bolted in place now ,i dont have an undertray so the bottom is a little flexible at the moment.Getting lent some facelift bumper repeaters tomorrow/thursday so fingers crossed it will be almost ready to book in for its mot.
