Still WIP, but I'm re-falling in love

Post by Ju@n »

So more than 2 years ago I impulse bought a Mtech Kit (bumpers, skirts, fenders and covers)
I then started the cruel path my country has made for crazy people like me that want to import things, this particular set was bought in Spain, and to get them here took more than a year. After that there was a crazy amount of fabricating (I wanted to cut/modify as little as possible from the actual car). In the end I only had to cut the front supports a bit. I even made some supports for the back that used the original shock holes so that I didn't have to cut the inner support the trunk has.
After that they had to go a "plastic repair guy" because the bumpers had some crash damage and normal wear and tear.

Far from a perfect result, but given that I did most of the work myself and the change is notorious I'm re-falling in love with the car :)

All of the rear brackets (I don't have pics of the fronts)
