Ok peeps finally got my arse in gear this weekend and decided i'd make a start tidying up my stilo. first off i decided i'd replace my front bumper as i had the spare one sitting from my JTD Breaker, so i started off by removing the two front wheels and the inner splash guards in the front wheel wells. undid the torx bolts and 8mm screws holding the corners of the bumper on, then lifted the bonnet and undid the 4 torx bolts holding the top of the bumper on. and the 2 brackets 2x 15mm bolts and 1x8mm bolt in each in behind the small side vents.

okay bumper off i decided i would remove the driverside wing and replace it because it was damaged in my collision with the MX5. but oh no my donor wing had a spot of rust starting at the bottom of the wheel arch so i said fook that and done a bit of panal beating and got my existing wing straightened up.

had a few bulbs blown in my headlights so i bought a full set of brand new bulbs for each headlight and decided i would replace both headlights with the ones from my JTD breaker, as my driverside headlight was damaged from the MX5 incident.

my Donor bumper was already off the car and it was lying in the boot of my JTD so i took it out of the boot and had a look at it (really should have looked at it before i started as it was p!ssing down, took one look at it and it was worse off than my 1.2 bumper so i threw it back in the boot and decided i would straighten up my 1.2 bumper. by this stage my mate had already removed my "Novitec" grill and broke all the clips so i had to remove the grill from my JTD bumper and fit it to my 1.2 bumper. everything fitted back nicely.

sorry for rabbiting on but i finally got my bum in gear and made a bit of progress on my stilo.

next on the list get my 2 front wishbones fitted and then onto the bodywork. i decided i'm going to do the bodywork myself as i have a little bit of bodywork experience. (i restored a 1984 Toyota Corolla GT Coupe AE86 last year and painted it myself).

Good luck Amigo

Certainly does sound like you've been busy. Bodywork's a thing I'm not looking forward to, but shall get round to it. Probably after I've bought the induction, brakes and other bits and bobs I'm getting for RGZ
