I'd give those quarter-bumpers a good sesh with some primer/filler then blow 'em in F*rd Strato Silver, would set the grey off a treat, much nicer than satin black IMHO.
Love the rest of it, cracking build.

thanks guys, just for the crack i finished them off to day, and given the abundance of satin black ive got figured it'd be rude not to at least try it.. I actually quite like them! But i do think they need to be chromed, so that might be something to consider once ive got a few things together that need doing.

Looks much neater than without, but the black also makes them disappear - might be worth trying a decent silver or white to amke them visually stonger. Chrome would still be best though

Brilliant! Those before and after pics really show how much work you've done. Bumpers in chrome I think, or even body colour? But does look better with them for sure. Well done mate, really nice car you have there.

Thanks guys! Ive got the back bumper ready for paint now, its a little rough and ready if I'm honest but I'm keen to get it finished now. Meanwhile I'm on the hunt for a good back bumper with good chrome, as i think long term ill re-chrome the front 1/4 bumpers just to make it look a little more 'period'. Thanks for all the comments guys!
