Spent the night on one of those islands a fair while back. Great times.

So here's my new bumper, i was infact doing it myself but wanted to hold off saying in case it went like the boot

Took four evenings to do this, but the finish is very good, i done three hours polishing last night alone!

I have worked out my spraying gremlins and will tackle any job now

GvidoR · 03-09-2015 04:53PM

More pictures pls (including before).

Hang on a second the ISF was released in 2008, and you posted recently that the 1st you heard of their existence was last year!

Hence me being surprised that suddenly everyone here knows what an ISF is, I only seen one in them flesh a year ago at a Lexus meet up and was aware of it early last year. To the layman most people would have no idea it has a 5 litre v8 with 400+ hp. If they have they are serious petrol heads.

A few guys in England did road trips to Europe this summer and the owners said there was a distinct lack of them on the roads, ie- none. , one guy did see one in Spain but considering the vast population of mainland Europe against Ireland .... Even in England most of the motoring public don't know what a ISF is. I only ever seen one on the open roads in Hampshire.

Looks really good from what can be seen, well done.

A lot better than the boot lid spray job you did :pac:

Fuppin hell that's a savage job so! Well done. A spray gun is so much easier to work with.

It can be a nightmare to get a constant "flow" with cans.

Did the Peugeot last year and the cans worked a treat mind.

Did you take the bootlid off when you did it? Bumpers looking sweet anyway.

To be fair, I've seen so called professionals in limerick make an awful bags of simple stuff, I wouldn't be too hard on your first (?) Diy effort!

You didn't see her passenger door after the clowns in limerick!!! Truly awful that they'd brazen it out rather than calling me and saying it had gone against them and they'd need to redo it...

I bet you didn't destroy random bits of interior while you were doing it either!

can I see the boot pic please?

bumper looks good tbf

mhackett102 · 03-09-2015 10:40PM

Gave the Corolla a quick clean, as it'll be getting filthy again this weekend and I'll probably end up washing it again sunday evening

(after the picture I put wax on the bodywork, tyre gel on the tyres and RainX Rain Repellant on the windows).

Very happy with the way its driving. Only have it two months and have clocked up 2500 miles (approx 4000 km). Trouble-free so far which is the main thing to me!

To be fair, it is a Corolla, trouble free is in its DNA. When the universe is in its dying moments of entropy, there will be a Toyota Corolla driving over the roads of long dead civilisations and the still twitching corpses of cockroaches and Keith/Cliff Richard. :pac: She looks in great nick. May you have many miles ahead of you. You remind me, must break out the oul rain-x myself.

They are great cars and do most things very well. That one looks to be in top condition. It should last you years and years.
