YAAAY! ^.^
 
Mildred has had a good day! She's been washed, polished, peanut buttered and hovered. She's all squeaky clean and shiny once again ^.^

Just finished work... Go out to the car to find some one has very kindly decided to park on my front bumper, then drive off!

Bad photo as it's dark
I hate society! -.-
 
had exactly the same, luckily I caught my culprit, moved his car before knocking on my door then said he wasn't parked by me until I showed him photo proof!
 
So had a look at my bumper in the daylight

Still not the best of pictures
I have polished and polished it
This is the best I can get it

:( I think it'll need a touch up :(
 
Soo..... I dragged MicraPro to the scrappers in the rain :D ooo he was chuffed... Good job I make damn good coffee ;)
Had a siffle around
After some swearing and sitting on stinging nettles we came away with new rear lights and a new back bumper :D

The plastic on the lights had faded so we masked them up :)

You would choose the only one that was so low due to lack of wheels for the bumper!! :rolleyes:
 
Been a productive day.... Yet not completely successful :/ micra pro was at work so had to entertain my
Self.....
My wing mirror had a crack in it
1370300407985.jpg
So I fibre glassed it and body filled it not bad for a first attempt :)
1370300450587.jpg
Then painted it black and put it back on Mildred :)
Painted fogs red to match my front bumper I will get some pics :)
Then started on the back bumper :)
1370300623953.jpg
£20 pound from the scrappers :) can't complain....
Had a crack in the bottom
1370301296646.jpg
Drilled the end of the crack to stop it cracking more. Fibre glassed it up along with my iPod and phone screen.... oops! 0.o
1370300784317.jpg
Body filled and sanded it down :)
1370300821909.jpg
While that dried it was time for the most important bit of the entire procedure ;)

Primerd
1370300912116.jpg
Painted black
1370300936182.jpg
Masked up ready for red :D
1370300969974.jpg
Red detail painted
1370300997215.jpg
Went to remove the masking tape and it pulled up all the black paint :'( so photos will follow when it looks pretty and I've stopped swearing at it!

1370384405055.jpg
Been a good day :)
 
I'm the same :L
Hmmm.... Air box would be good definitely :D need to get my bumpers sorted too :(
And sub wired in :L
Lots to do!
 
Driving back from micra pros when I hear a hideous scrapping noise :O

drove Mildred like a granny till I could pull over safely. Pulled over to take a look (outside a beer garden) where I had five lovely young men run over :) (see a woman scrabbling under a car and come to offer help) just my luck they were mechanics ;) and after spending about 20 minutes admiring my Mildred :L decided to very professional remove the bit hanging of my car (when I say professionaly..... Literally ripped it of :eek:) to which I found out it was the heat shield protecting my cat!

Drove it home and me and daddy bear had a check underneath luckily my cat still looks ok!
Well I know what I'll be doing in my lunch break tomorrow :rolleyes:

On the pluss side sub sounds amazing and if I crank it up drowns out the hideous noise of my car falling apart ;)
