    Thoughts? Advice? What next?

    Took some pics of my ill fated project today. Thought I'd get some opinions on where to go next after I get the thing running well...








    (damaged side)

    A good polish should sort that. Yeah I know it's hideous.

    Get a new set of fog lights
    Fit a new bumper
    Paint the battery tray black
    And repair the near side

    Good list

    Any thoughts on the intercooler? A standard bumper would have it sticking out underneath right?

    I think it might be best to take the bumper off and have a look how big the cooler actually is. As even some of the larger ones still fit behind the bumper

    Plenty of room behind the bumper.

    Mount it like this :


    Should sit behind a standard bumper the same as this :

    Ok so if this was mine I would...

    Remove window tints

    Fit legal plates

    Remove window sticker

    Paint fmic all black or source new bumper

    Remove dents and polish it to death, check out Brads red gt after he buffed it up with his chuck Norris arms
