Default my kit so far...

hey all just purchased a TS50 front bumper and few days back and have put it on, i must say it looks much better than my old series 1 grille, bonnet and bumper. thanks to kcej for swaping the bonnet with me and 84RGE for the bumper.

he's a pic so far, got some side skirts to and should be gettin them fitted and painted soon. i also want to get a bulge for the bonnet but not to sure about the priceing and what not.

Before:



Now:

cheers, neil

You need to spray it all grey with the black high spot paint zig zagged over the top!

nah - looks good, but what happened to the ford badge?

It looks good. But, i'm not a fan of kits not painted. Personally, i would of had the kit painted first then fitted. That is unless we are see test fit photo's, then thats fine.
Also, you need to paint your headlight bezels, stock grey just doesn't go with a t series kit.

Cheers

It's easy enough to do. I've done it on mine and i know a lot of other people have too. I had to do mine with heat gun which was a bit tricky but it was not bad to do (both times).
Check here, it tells you how to do it:

I'm now considering wheather to re-do mine in body colour. I can't decide.

My photo bucket is being funny, so here a photo of the headlights for you:


Cheers

Look great mate
