I know. Soon as it happens you think s**t I need to fix that now but knowing it will make more work. Ahh well it happens. Just in the space of 15mins everything goes wrong. Just hope I can get the backbox sorted tomorrow too

well went back up to my works yard today and fitted the exhaust again. no doubt it will soon fall off again as its the same as how it was when i 1st fitted it,as no-one was around to weld (i really need to weld myself) so again its paste and clamped on.

anyways had a look at the spoiler and wasn't as daunting as i 1st thought. just a bit of 400 grit sorted it all out, couple of coats of primer, some 600,800 and finally 1000 grit i finished priming it...

(even though it looks white it is grey as recommended)

and as i had a lot of heat on in there and let the primer dry for an hour (i know your meant to leave 24 before paint but want to get it done soon as now and i know it shouldnt react so thought why not).....

as you can see iv took caution with a nice soft duvet cover incase someone decides to knock into it when im not there lol.

not a bad job really considering i was ready to give up on it yesterday lol. back up there tomorrow to paint the underside as i only managed to get a light coat on the underside.

happy with todays work :)

cheers mate, cant wait to get it on the car :) and hopefully have enough paint left to do either the chrome strip on at the back, or the front grill, or do the interior of the headlights, hmmmmm decisions.

but might just use full can on the spoiler, make sure its nice thick coat.
