    Ok, got the bumper back from the welders late last night, they told me it would be a couple of day's, 11 hours later!
    Looks ok too, will need a skim of porridge but fingers crossed should be fine, only issue is that the swage line on the top of the bumper will end early near the repair area, i have asked the paintman to see if either he can match the other side or try to disguise it best he can, we'll see, not too fussed about it as it is what it is after all.

    Bumper and spoiler at painters now, "couple of day's", hopefully, just need a pair of fogs now, anyone ?

    Brackets are with me too, so by the end of the week, i may have an 'unfurnished'
    bumper on, spoiler too. Paintman wasn't too impressed with the spolier quality, typical ebay *****, "What's that made from? old newspaper and discharge?" came the comment, but will do his best, if it looks dung when it's fitted it will end up in the bin.

      Ok, slight change of plan here, i have just bought a Coupe, not an S2 but a 2.0 16v, cheap and cheerful, so the saloon may have to go or in my wife's words, i will.
      Will see what the best is when i pick up the Coupe next week, bumpers just come back too, in black, may have to be red now.

                    No probs mate, Bus is going good, got the new wheels and going to get on with painting them soon, just making a final decision on colour. Might have to tweek the power a bit too, injectors and a rechip sees it at 150bhp Not epic but should be fun
