i think i could rivet the two ends of the skirts... looks more appealing than three big screws! | |

i used the dremmel for the little bits, but i had to cut some big chunks off so used the angle grinder for that | |

yeah... dremmel sounds like a better option than an angle grinder | |

yeah thats right, when i had a carlton auto front bumper i had it on and off the car at least 20 times trimming and filling so there wasnt gaps and it fitted properly. | |

skirts will screw into the sill and glue on under the doors, unless they are huge ones which u will probs have to make brackets for. fit everything first before you paint it, cos its guarenteed to need some trimming. | |

fitting the bumpers is simple front once it has been trial fitted and sanded down in places where it is not right should be held on by the orogional screws and holes this bein in archs and engine bay best to make some kind of braces for undernieth on after market bumpers | |

I think they bolt through the bodywork underneath (like the current bumpers). | |

dont think they are blow heaters... just ordinary electric heaters... gonna cover the inside with newspaper so no dust from the walls fall on the work.... | |

Be careful your heaters don't actually "blow" air out, because if they do they will blow lots of dust on the thing you are spraying | |

well i have got some experience... i think i feel confident enough to give it a go... of course with a compressor and an air gun to evenly distribute the paint... plus im gonna empty my shed put a few heaters in there for 2 days to heat it up like a proper sprayin booth... think i'll do an ok spray job | |
