Not got time to quickly sand them out and touch up?

I no your excited in getting them on but another day without them to get them perfect would surely be worth it?

Nahh, i haven't got that much time (or paint!!)

They're alright. It's just around one of the centre caps where some superglue ran, a bit annoying but they're alright. It's only one of them!

They still look good anyway, prob one of those things that only you no is there.

Look forward to the pictures :D

Hopefully!!

Just been to check on them, it's the !Removed! superglue that has spoiled them a bit around the centre caps. Shouldn't have done it, i always make a mistake towards the end result!!!

Hopefully through many washes and miles they'll look better. On the whole they look alright, but if you get up close they'res much to pick fault about. Oh well...

I'm not sure if it will strip the paint or lacquer but try some Tardis to remove the glue?

They look really good Mike :D Hope it all goes well tomorrow!

Would i expect any more from you my little drunkard friend?? (you're quite tall actually, but thats beside the point)

They look great Mike, well done! :D

Have you tried ringing around the local car dismantlers? They're bound to have Mk4 Fiesta parts coming out of their ears. My mate got a wing from a scrappy for £15. He just needed it sprayed. :)

Also, I don't recall posting on this thread last night :lol: Whoops.... I wasn't drunk... :huh:

Reading through what you've written/the texts you sent the next day is the best bit!

Mike, there's a wing in primer on ebay for £27.50 delivered if that helps? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FIESTA-MK4-1996-1999-FRONT-WING-R-H-NEW_W0QQitemZ350334392915QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item51918e9a53

I look forward to kicking them, and the rest of the car (again) at the upcoming meet ;)

Very nice, finish the car off nicely :D

Thankfully I don't have much to read back over today :ph34r:
