My list of plans keep getting longer, although admittedly thanks to advice from you lovely buggers i wont be fitting a bull bar.

I was thinking of colour coding the arches, which could be achieved on any colour jim.

Was gonna see if there were any colour codes out yet for the jim. Get the arches smoothed and spray painted.

Any tips on how best to achieve this. I.e: Fiber-glassing and sanding, or fillers and smoothing etc.


Cheers.

Doing that with paint will involve multiple coats of high build filler primer and sanding back each coat it will also need a plasticity enhancer. Vinyl wrap might be a lot simpler.

Ermintrude has the sz4 contrast grey archs and bumpers and doesn't look half as coherent as zebedee who is colour coded blue. Colour coded is the future.

I don't think I have a pic of Zebedee but this is Ermintrude with her driving buddies.
