well... i want many things, but i need to decide on bodywork so that when i get the bonnet sprayed it gets done at once.
black/gunmetal trims have been done many times but i'm tempted by gunmetal trims and roof (remove rub strips too)...
i want to smooth all the handles ideally, but is it worth putting so much into a 9 year old car??!!

I feel that you are only young once, so you might as well do it while you still can
Or just come to thr dark side

So Aron, where did you get the bumper? Just a scrapyard, ebay?
and splitter? Do tell

ebay'd the bumper, and the splitter... well... it's not steinmetz or irmscher - i'm busy sorting a courier out from germany, it's a bit of a gamble but might just be worth it...
the splitter was dirt cheap, but the courier is nearly £100

i got the whole car back from the dead for about £350 - but, mates rates for welding and trade parts so i doubt thats a fair idea of cost.
slam panel recessed/flush? erm... no idea mate... i had a whole new slam panel, the bar behind the bumper wasn't actually that bent so got it straighted, painted and put back on...

pic from PVS:
black bonnet 
painted my needles and fitted my lockwoods
today i started prepping my pre-97 rear (for cdx) - should be nice and smooth when i'm done...
plans for the next few months;
- sort out my 'knocking' spax shock
- get the bonnet painted and fit my cdx rear
- get 165 tires
- 90mm rear springs
- pressed plates
- don't crash it
