not yet mate...some old boy in a focus rolled into the front of my car on a hill start junction last week so am waiting for the insurance to fit me a brand new bumper..:D ...and I'll be paying a bit extra to get the rest of the front end sprayed, then I'll get the rear end de-badged and re-sprayed as soon as I can afford. Hopefully in a couple of months time it should all be done, euro lottery plan didn't work out which is a shame...:( I can't wait to see it all come together, I love the standard look of the car and really want the NHB to be at it's best so fingers crossed it will be mint very soon...:cool:
 
Here is a photo of me and sacrificial pawns car going up the strip, love this shot, the cars look great side by side imho..:cool:

My OEM hose was getting pretty bad (nearly split), but it was no where near as bad as that!

Top mod and I'm glad I've done mine.

I had no idea at all mate, the split was underneath so couldn;t see it when cleaning etc...all a bit embarrassing tbh..:eek:

Most people don't realise, I bet there are loads of CTR's with this problem and owners will be none the wiser.
 
de-badged bootlid today and gave it a quick wash, going in to the bodyshop tomorrow for a new bumper and bonnet re-spray plus de-badged and matt black'd grill.

Tidy Up and matt black grill.

The front end of my car has been a shower of stonechips for ages now. Luckily a couple of weeks ago a nice elderly gentleman hit the front of my car by rolling back into me on a hill start junction, so nice Mr. Insurance has come to the rescue. :)

New bumper, Red H, resprayed bonnet and de-badged and matt black'd grill. Love it, it's so clean now..a big improvement. :D

Looking lovely mate. Now you've got a fresh canvas, just keep on top of the polishing/waxing and you're onto a winner.
 
aye, thats the trouble isn't it..? Be even harder work now.. :lol:

I'm not sure my waxing methods are good enough tbh, The car gets more and more swirled as time goes by so I think I am doing or using something wrong. It really needs a correction.
 
cheers beardy, Front and rear ends look better without the badges imo. It has the type r emblem in enough places to be able to lose a couple of them without losing its identity. :)

lol...it was so hot mate he has been lay in shade most of the day. I'll tell him you asked of him though, he'll be chuffed :D
 
Very nice, keep the side stickers on, they are pricey should you wish to put them back on, plus they are not that 'in your face' - Credit to you for maintaining a high mileage EP3 to meticulous standards 8)

(and dibs on those rear braces whenever you may sell it!!)
 
Very good paintwork there fella.

Not keen on the de-badged grill, its a little too run of the mill.
