FRP 50, update post #18

Here is my new FRP, I picked it up monday and only have these few pics so far, im going to clean it and take some more on weekend





Overall its very good condition, slight ware to drivers seat but nothing major. the paintwork is immaculate, its rapped in armourfend, altho it does need changing so i will be removing it tomorrow when i wax it, The wheels do need a refurb and are going in to be done on monday but will come back a differnt colour ,
also has mild steel cat back on so i will be changing it with the spare ss i have in my garage, only other thing was the rear seat has ware where the parcel shelf meets so i swapped that over already with my old one

few small changes happening soon that i will update with

Looks nice, keep this one in one piece!

this happened when I had mine removed!

If you have more put on, i'd recommend paint sheild as they do a full bonnet kit.

Have your door cards flappy alcontara?

1-50 suffered from this.

loooovely! You going for dark or white alloys then? By the way, can someone very briefly explain armourfend-as Spikes pics above make it look scary!

its only scary when pulling it off, if your paint has been resprayed badly.

Its a plastic film which sticks over the paint, to protect from stone chips.

ah thought it'd be something like that. Ta

works well, but some kits are better than others for being hidden!

My car has the rear arches, and everything forward of the mirrows covered!

Yep, that's what's going on with #013. Interestingly, it's not the same place as where my last Puma started to rust. Weird.
