i hit a dog in my el gli and it has f**k the whole front bumper. was thinking instead of replacing with another gli bumper maybe putting a fairmont end on which aparantly requires the bonnet and headlights to suit. i have regency red metallic paint which is a little bit faded but still comes up nice and shiny with a good wash. if i got panels to suit and just gave the whole car a good wash then a cut and polish, would the different front end stand out like dogs balls because it hasnt been properly cut back like a panel beater would do??? thanks heaps for any answers

im not really sure what your asking, but i will answer it the best i can.
if your plan is to buy a fairmont front end in regency red and just bolt it in ... im sure the colour will be a little out, but i doubt it will "stand out like dogs balls" if you buy a front end, and take it to a panel shop and get them to paint it and then u fit it. if u give them something on your car to colour match it too... it should be pretty dam close, barely tell the difference, if they have a good colour matcher. the best way to do this. would be to get your parts (whatever colour) get a panel shop to paint the new parts and blend the front doors ... then cut n polish the rest of your car, and should come up sweet |
