when i had the car up on the ramp at gordons last year was suprised on how good the underneath of the car car was so decided that it needed to be looked after so can prolong the life of the car.
due to one thing or another never got round to sorting it before the winter started but today as the weather was dry i have started on the drivers side of the car.
went and bought some black hammerite paint from B&Q and set to work.

wheel arch well dirty mainly my fault:D

took wheel arch liner out and looks well goos for a 20year car

gave it a clean with a scouring pad

then painted it all up

also done the front wheel arch again well happy with the condition.

all painted up

also painted the sills inner and outer to give some protection, side kirts will be going over the sills so not to bothered how they look as long there protected.

done a bit more painting this morning.

finished the OSF wing after taking out the wash wipe bottle

cleaned and painted towing eye and bumper bar.

then sorted out the NSF wing again was happy with condition of it.

cleaned then painted

also cleaned the OS wheel arch liners and refitted them back onto the car.

i was going to paint the chassis rails at the front but there covered in
that much oil i think ill leave it like that to protect them

paul look i do make as much mess outside my flat as your house:biggrinjester:

i have taken the BMW front bumper off for some repairs and a repaint
so my original one has gone back on, really dont like the look of the car
now but turn that into a posiative to get it looking sweet again.
