Thanks mate

When you say the bumper moulding do you mean the two grey bits on the front and rear?

If so yeah I painted them on the bar.

Looking good!

Not a bad day for a drive.

I can’t believe I don’t see you regularly since we are basically neighbours

Aaah yep, just scuffed back with the same as the rest of the bumper.

On the statesman they are solid plastic and not polyurethane like on the commodores so you don’t need to do anything special with it.

They are purely decorative and actually moulded into the bumper and not removable

I live 10mins from that Bunnings store

I thought by now we established that I grew up a bogan, and stayed a bogan.

Well there you go, learnt something new. Cheers

It’s a phoenix (which is now the name of the car)

As the car is a grange replica I used my decal machine to make up some custom stickers that would have gone in the place the grange badges went.
