I haven't updated this for a while since nothing as been happening with BumbleBee up until 2 months ago.

I pushed my rims into a curb avoiding an accident. Picked up one badly scratched rim and a nail in the other.

Dropped the car off at the panel shop this morning to get all of them refurb.

While that is getting done i also had this made up thanks to our resident modifying guru HUBBLY_BUBBLY (LEGEND!!!!)

Gonna get the sprayed gloss black to tie in with my theme.

And then also fitted these

Next update you'll get to see all the magic.

Thanks for reading

So first things first:
Don't know how but I became toothless:

Bought a grill from a fellow Seat Pilot after his car was in an accident.
Thanks Blaze cause now I have all my teeth again and don't need dentures.


Secondly:
Took delivery of my front splitter a few months ago and sprayed it gloss black
Old Ibiza Splitter:

New Splitter:



Had it fitted on Saturday and then some TLC with a full house cleaning session.
Before:




During:

Nick working hard


NOW:







Me just messing around




Realised after this post that I need to learn how to take better pictures...:rofl:

Thanks for reading guys!
