JC#79's Nordic P11 GT LE

[Mad Maru]

Ok it's been a while since my last update so I thought I'd let all those not in attendance at JAE see the work that went into my recent secret squirrel.

Now incase anyone couldn't spot the new addition it was a Honda accord fibre-glass splitter.

This was blended into the bumper to add curve rather than look like a bolt-on, I hope you all like it as much as I did when it was taking shape?

Now I was there throughout every step of the transformation & took some 200+ pictures but I'll spare you all of them & pic out just a selection. Maybe when I get my arse in gear I'll finish off my project section thread...

Anyway onto the pics:

Before:

During:

Bumper off to have hole for intercooler customised:

Here is John, the man behind all the hardwork:

Bumper back on & intercooler fitted snug, laguna splitter banished:

Offering up for best fit:

Arrgggh he chopped it in half...

Guess who couldn't help but try & help:

High & dry:

Keying bumper for fibre-glassing:

He damaged my club stickers may need some new one's G?

Fibre-glass:

To be continued...

 

[Mad Maru]

Self-tapers be gone (ground)

Some filler:

Primer going on:

Other bits being sorted:

Little breathing mod:

Masking:

144 Side strips prepped:

Paint going on, must remember a mask next time:

To be concluded...

 

[Mad Maru]

The end is nigh...

First pics all done just being mopped?

Broken handle be gone:

Out of the shop, daylight strikes the work:

Baby got curves:

Guess who Blue has been teaching?

That's your lot sorry if that took valuable moments that you will never get back again but I needed to share!

Thanks for looking.

Freaking sweet! Quick question - did they use countersunk screws? Or normal ones (are they grinding the heads off the screws in the pics?)

 

[mera red gti]

yeah for no stone chips, cost much?

Looks well sweet.

Must do mod.

If it was mine I'd get a sheet of 5mm Fibreglass/Carbon/whatever and make me a splitter like one of these...

Very nice car.

(I think my GT needs some boost.)

 

[FOSSIL FUELS]

and a good finnish on the paintwork

No normal self tapers but once sunken & in place the tops were ground down smooth (not completely off) before the filler was applied.

yeah for no stone chips, cost much?

The price was very reasonable & through a mate so even better value.
