Mr Brown Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just a little pre update I glossed the brackets today came out okay want the paint to proper hard so will be fitting later today While i had the paint out sorted another little niggle when i did the grill conversion because most of the plastic is removed from said grill you can now see parts of the bonnet through the meshthe bits that used to be obscured by the nasty plastic and as my car is silver it they really stood outLookOne spanner four nuts later the grill was off a roll of masking tape and some newspaper a quick blast with the black gloss and metal be gone Will post pics later today (Monday) as will be inserting brace into said brackets only thing is my car does not have the holes for the back bolts as only a mb3 so will check if i got bolts to put in (if i can find the ones im thinking of they will be perfect) if so will drill holes and fit if not gonna put it in position with the suspention top nuts only as this will be fine untill i get appropriate bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
