front end refresh pt3

The weather wasn't really permitting yesterday but I fitted the bumper anyway! My custom rewired bumper lights in, fresh metal number plates on (unfortunately I'm too paranoid to show the number lol), and the 2500K PIAAs I got last year and I am very happy with it now.

Between the redline rear lights and finally sorting out the front bumper, along with some newly achieved "moar low", I am 100% happy with the exterior look of the car. The Run Free Alfa skirts and rear bumper will stay, I think they match the bumper+lip combo nicely! She will get a full paintwork detail in the coming weeks and then all I need now is some sunshine and a proper photoshoot :)

Got a nice call from the painter dude today, my bumper and splitter finished ahead of schedule.. He did a really really nice job. Its nearly a shame to put it on the car I want to hang it on the wall haha.. I found some silver cable ties for the splitter too.

lights, bumper brackets, and my lovely new pressed metal number plates are on already, Trueno gets its face back on tomorrow weather permitting!

What is it with the front falling off Truenos!

Truenos eat leaves and small birds

Today I removed my ratty front bumper/splitter combo as it is finally going for paint this week. My patented "satin black rattle over graphite" was really starting to flake badly (as expected when you do no prep work lol) and a friend of a friend turned out to be a local spraypainter so the time is here at last. Hopefully this time next week the front bumper and splitter will be a fresh shade of 2x1 graphite. I also ordered some fresh pressed steel import number plates today, should go nicely on the new clean bumper..

Front end back on.....

....but still needs a couple more tries at lining up the headlamps vs wings vs frp bonnet, melter!!
its jacked as I'm gona whip out the axle and rose-joint the rear end this week...
