Bopthebear Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) The front screen actually doesn't have a mark on it and thankfully the rear windows and boot window came out ok, decided to completely flush the bootlid, lock and rear wiper gone - only thing rubber wise is the roof runners managed to find two as mines are tired and look tatty Made a new splitter for the car to plenty more updates coming this year as I've got all genuine White face Defis to go in him And cheers Tyler can't wait to get him out in the sun to appreciate the paint Edited April 1, 2020 by Bopthebear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
