Awesome deal!

[Nathan1305]

I'm getting a phase 3 bumper and a set of crystal headlights for £20 picking up Sunday 10 minutes away from my house. Bumper will need respraying but I think that's an awesome deal

[Connor]

Where/whos that from?

[Nathan1305]

Where/whos that from?

A guy in patchway he's breaking his silver 2litre phase 3

[Connor]

Ooh where to?

[bigcheez2k3]

Good job

I remember when I had my old DT, was going to pay £110 for a ph3 bumper as it was a rare colour. Picked one up for £10 at FCS

Sometimes you just need to be in the right place and talk to the right person. Had a fair few bargains because of this place.

I had a crack in the rear bumper of my old PH3 GTi and couldn't find another black bumper within 100 miles of my house. Ended up getting a moonstone one for a tenner, but then it cost a bomb to get it sprayed (After I'd attempted and failed to do it myself!)

[Nathan1305]

just by Blakeny road don't know if you know that road? literally 5 doors down from my girlfriend haha

yeah I'm gonna get my old college to do it i did body and paint in college

[Toms306]

If you did body and paint why not do it yourself?


Also, I have a china ph3 bumper here that can go for a tenner if someone collects lol.

i would have it for a tenner but you live too far

[Toms306]

Fair enough, didn't know if you could do it with spray cans, but I don't know much about bodywork tbf.

Nothing to stop you doing it with rattle cans, I was gonna do my old ph3 bumper with cans before i crashed it, and Kentiiboii has just done his rear bumper with cans, so I'd say go for it. Obviously you'll get a better finish with the proper kit, but if all else fails, cans should do the job just fine.

yeah i can get the bumper done for like less than £60 and rattle cans will probably cost a fair bit for primer, base coat and clear coat

Go for rattle cans mate, look im diy stores, I get 500ml primers, basic paints and lacquers for £2.50 they're the best cans ive ever used as well. Also plenty of body shops will mix paint for you so you get a better match.

ive been painting my rear bumper using rattle cans cost me just over £20. But take me about a week with prep work and things.

That actually looks really good I'll have to get some paint from work before I start my new job, how many cans did you use?

[kentiiboii]

I used 1x plastic primer 1x filler primer to get it as smooth as I can but should of used actual primer. 2x colour cans becuase the first started spitting, 1x lacquer becuase I wanted it to be quite this as the standard bumpers look like they have a thick coat.

Where I got the colour from he got all different shades of e0kq and matched them to different panels on the car, hes got a really good match but I think ive let it down becuase I didnt use red primer so it's slightly lighter. So when I do the front bumper im going to jse red primer.

Fair enough I'll have too see what I can do with it

[Connor]

Yeah I know where that is, might have to drive past lol do you know they guy? Or has he just got adverts in the car windows?

[kentiiboii]

If you've done body work in college you'll know all about the prep work.
With rattle cans keep a rag with you to wipe the nozzle regular cos it does build up.

Yeah I'm really happy just gotta find out how to change my lights to crystals

[kentiiboii]

Really easy to change them mate, you just need to keep the adjuster from your frosted lights.

What's the adjuster? Is that what adjusts the angle of the light ?

[bigcheez2k3]

No you don't.

I swapped from frosted to crystal on the old car, only thing I needed to change was the stalk as crystals are twin optic.
