And ready to be prepared for paint. For the sharp eyed, you will see the bottom of the mouth has bee removed from the front bumper. This also involved extending the sides of the mouth down to the bottom of the side pods. All along the bottom of the front bumper, excluding the mouth has the holes for bolting the bumper to the splitter. We have used dome headed allen bolts for the underside of the splitter.

Inside the wheel arches have stone guard protection sprayed white to clean up the finish too.

The Diablo doors will be done another time as it is more important to get the car running!

If I don't get them from the body shop, I will be seeing the car in the flesh on Friday, so I'll grab some then

Pearl White is a real color. A sexy color I might add.

Pearl white FTW! Didn't you know that the vast majority of very fast 3S's are white?
