You get the idea. Was annoying as they were two weeks late on arrival anyway so I got set back further again, anyways I'm told i m getting a refund so all is well,
Anyways while the fenders were off got to work cleaning up the front of the car as it was looking old and tired,
Got some nice and clean bumper brackets off sandy on here as I was missing one anyway
