Rip off the front end, makes thinks so much easier.



If only vauxhall had bolted the slam panel on rather than welded it, XE'ing it would be a walk in the park

Now, can anyone think of a very similar colour to the yellow so I can spray the bay?

Ie, Im getting tins from halfords, the paint the whole car is done in is only avaliable for compressor spraying.

You want to see some of the VAG cars, the front X-member comes off too, you can literally take the engine out of the front of the car.

yellow hammerite lol, a paint shop (body repair supply shop) would be able to mix a tin of almost any manufacture colour in a rattle can and would probably be cheaper than halfords
