hey lads so here's my build..
I bought my 1st rwd car and when i bought it first it was abit rough looking but sure i got it at a good price so i can't complain too much.. so when i got it, it had 18" Alloys wheels which is grand out but they were eating my tyres so here is what the car looked after washing it and cleaning it ( farmer son had the car )..

Looking good mate. Is it Richard dipping the parts for you?

I think your whole front bumper needs replacing, judging by the gap around the lights and the front of the bonnet. I'd check behind the bumper for more signs front end damage if I was you.

Nice start... But it does look like it's been in a minor shunt..

Easily fixable

Ah no i checked it when I got home after buying it i took of the front bumper and checked it. They was no damage panels
