After some work, and much swearing. ive finally got my new 2 piece clubby front fitted. Still got some prep and paint to do to tidy everything up, but at least all the mechanicals are done *happy*
Some pictures of the work in progress, some bodgery i found and weight lost..





The proposed cheap paint job for the time being, the label had me chuckling...

I didn't get the can thing straight away. It's a bit odd for it to say that.

Turbo parts collector at the moment, almost ready.

Your arches look a bit narrow. But looks good otherwise.

Cheers Wil, Havent got round to getting other arches yet, im thinking about changing wheels soon so i dont know what im going to be needing to buy. Havent had any funny looks from any coppers as yet though for it thank god, only half inch tread sticking out i think so it might not be so obvious. Couldnt believe what my scuttle closing panels were like though, passenger side was made from various bits of fibreglass resin, random bits of plastic, metal and bulkhead soundproofing. :S

Looking good, i do like those clubby fronts. Especially with the black grill, and are those cross hairs?

Yup, those are smoked mk2 golf crosshairs without the mounting plate, adjustment tabs cut into the front end. Really do like the lights :)

Yeah, Clubman fronts rule! *Clapping*
Those headlights are superb, might have to keep an eye out for some those...

The ones i got were off ebay for 45 quid,no sidelight holders though so i butchered my quadoptic ones to fit and held them in with ally tape just incase they vibrate out. other than that they have glass lenses and found out today they have neutral dip, which explains why i couldnt get them to shine to the pavement a bit without the passenger headlight being on the squiff.

All satin black for a while, until i can afford a proper paint job. Which will most likely be 2 years down the line *tongue*

If you look carefully tom, Underneath the Cellulose Satin Black label, above the letters 'ose sati' youll see something

Yes, it says NEGRO, which is Spanish for the colour black, so seeing as you have black paint, possibly made in Spain.....
