Here Is A Picture Of The Circuit Board Behind The Dials Which I Had To Have Replaced, You Can See Where The Nob Unsoldered The Light Where The Board Is Burnt And Took The Bulb Out So That The ABS Light Wouldn't Come On...!

Takes some doing to burn out an LED like that. Easy repair, nontheless, even with the board in that condition.

Or snip a leg, though it's burned out which, like I said, is a bit puzzling.

Bought Myself Another Front Bumper The Other Night On Good Old Ebay, And Turned Up Today, The Reason Being Is, The Bumper On My Car Now Has Been Hit From The Person Who Had The Car Before, He Tried Repairing The Damage Himself By Filling And Respraying But Failed, :lol: And It Just Looks Tacky So I'v Been Looking About On The Net For A While Now For A Nice Tidy One, So I Found This One, £50 Free Postage Too, Wasn't Sure What Colour It Was So I Asked The Seller But They Didn't Know So I Bought It And Hoped For The Best... I Opened It Today And Its The Same Colour As My Car, Happy Days, :) Heres Some Pictures Of My Old And New Bumper...!

Old - Paint Reacting From s**t Respray!

Image

Image

New - Sparkly New... Wont Be Putting This On Yet Until It's Up To My Standards And With The Splitter On!

Today I Went Out And Bought Some Black Hammerite Paint, So Tonight I Got Off My Arse And Painted Those Rusted Brake Drums Just In Time For RS Combe, :) They Now Look 100 Times Better And Look Brand New, You Can Probably See In My Previous Photos How Untidy They Looked... I'm Leaving My 2 Rear Wheels Off Tonight To Make Sure The Paint Dries Properly, And Here's A Few Pictures!

The Front Bumper Is Slowly Getting There, Today The Bottom Lip Of It Was Sprayed Panther Black, I Was Going To Carbon Wrap It But I Lost My Patience Attempting To Wrap It So Thought Spraying It The Same Colour As The Car Would Be Nice And Goes With The Bumper Splitter Thing I Just Sprayed, :) Anyway Here Is A Few Photo's Of It Bubble Wrapped, Bin Bagged And Masking Taped! :lol:
