I picked up a pair of 7" wheels to put on the rear. I have been wanting to try polishing a phone dial wheel to see how it looks. In the how to section I wrote a thread on polishing aluminum that follows how I did this at home. I'm pretty happy with the results. Now I get to do it 3 more times!

More goodies showed up on my door step. I got the bumper and lights in. Still waiting on the mount brackets. I got it all from Woolies Workshop. Great guy to deal with. I think the euro bumper looks so much better on these cars and my wife indulges my addiction.

I also picked up a set of script door handles that I will polish up before they go on.

When I got the new front bumper it looked really rough. Lots of scratches and even more bad touch ups. I started sanding it with 220 grit to remove the paint. Under the paint and primer was a good heavy gel coat and all the scratches sanded out. This is the first test fit and I think it looks so much better.

The bumper is now painted and loosely installed on the car. I still need to adjust to get the best fit I can. I ordered the paint from my local O'reilly auto parts store. They mix by paint code and put it in rattle cans for about $20 per can. The paint came out a very good match. I still need to go thru the lights to get them in good condition.
