Not yet, I'm sanding the panels, getting ready for primer this week.
Should get the front bumper in primer by Friday.
Will work on the rear bumper next. The r-design rear bumper spoiler needs a little repair but no big deal.

The roof spoiler has the first layer of top coat and will get to the next two hopefully this week before lacquer. I have the type 2 spoiler like the r-design/sport. I also have a type 1 spoiler from Germany which I'm toying with using. See item 350235913751 on the German ebay site for a similar example.
Has anyone installed a rear spoiler and drilled the fixing holes? Any advice would be wonderful.

Looks like the sport side skirts are glued/bonded on the under-edge.
Any suggestions of which glue to use? I'll use regular body kit adhesive as it should be sufficient?

When I'm finished, I'll have a spare S40 2007-> front bumper and a spare 2007-> rear bumper up for sale....plus the old bumpers. If any one wants something, please shout!

As for the wheels, I have Lenso 18" wheels with 225/40/18 tyres.
They're in black and look like a mulit-piece wheel with chrome rims.
Will sand them back and spray them with German metallic silver wheel paint.
I think black works well on black cars....but not my taste.

I put in some new LED's on the side-lights at the weekend. The last set only lasted a few months. This time I went for the standard 501's with the dual layer SMD's, wow I am quite impressed with the brightness. Looks great next to my HID conversion.

I'll post updates as I make progress.
Thanks,
Jason
