was gettin sick of seein the cracks and 2 big air holes that was in the bumper b4 i had the car.

decided 2 nip down halfords and have 2 cans of tungy knocked up and give it a go, and 2b fair it dont look bad 4 aerosole cans... colour match is pretty bang on 2.
when i hav the time and money i will buy a new 1 and get it done by a sprayer... what u guys think??

looks great, you know you can turn the little sqaure bit on the nossle to have the fan spray vertical or horizontal.

does look good tho, just hope the metalic blue i had made will be spot on.
grey or white primer to get best colour match??
