Did u have to take the whole bumper off to spray it mate or is there a way to remove that lower section? I haven't had a good look yet.
Looking great tho man!

TarekElsakka · Nov 18, 2012

Awesome dude! That looks fantastic and gives me a couple of ideas since I have a silver Leon as well. Good job.

p11lkw · Nov 18, 2012

I chose to take the whole bumper off to make it easier to paint, only takes a few minutes to take off.
I was hoping the lower section came off but apparently not.

Cheers, I'm going to paint the roof high gloss black in the new year, front splitter to order this week and toying with the idea of a black front grill.

TarekElsakka · Nov 18, 2012

To be honest I find taking the front bumper off quite time consuming, although not very difficult. There are just too many screws (under the hood, wheel arches, and on the bottom of the car) and the ones on bottom are the most difficult for me since I don't have a garage and I have to lay on the asphalt (well not directly, but I put something and lay my back on it) and that's still pretty nasty.

I've been wanting to vinyl wrap the roof glossy black for a while now but I am searching for someone that can do it professionally because I don't want to waste my money on a useless wrapping job.

Painting is, of course, the most efficient and professional but then again over in Egypt it really decreases resale value and I am not sure if it's legal actually.

Suppose ill find out soon enough myself how difficult it is to remove the front bumper when I get round to fitting a new IC. I've done few more mods recently will put some new pictures up soon.

TarekElsakka · Nov 18, 2012

They're all allen-keys, by the way. There are about four or five screws under the car, six or seven in the wheel arches, and five or six under the hood.

p11lkw · Nov 18, 2012

Are they not torx drive like the rear ?

Marshall · Nov 18, 2012

Yeah all torx mate.

Thanks
I used a K&N filter which my brother bought for his focus st that he never used, was still in its wrapper! Silicone pipes and alloy bends was bought from a company in Wakefield.

I suppose not everyone has access to an alloy welder or can be bothered to mess around making there own.
