Got a question, I'm planning or now thinking about deleting the headlight washer jets on the front bumper...
Apparently the plastic itself sweats when welding and this in itself does not give a good bond. The next option is to plastic fill them but although initially good it may cause slight sinkage problems later. The ideal would be to find a small discrete bung which I can colour code... does this exist?
Nice! So you're not worried about the crap visibility either! Let's just not drive parallel to each other
Who knows...

You could make a cap for the washer jet holes by cutting out circles. Smoothing and colour coding. Something similar to the tow eye covers.
I personally will be using 3m liquid plastic to flush them off.
Use the same stuff on my shortened front number plate recess. Then put the bumper on bake a few times with other jobs. If its gonna sink then the drastic change in heat will make it happen.

Looking good Frank
its great to see your sticking to black, as its a lovely colour to keep with less effort in colour changing the whole car.
GTone and the bodyshop looks likes like a top job taking into account all the areas that can creep with rust.
Keep the update coming, as you say pictures speak louder than words.

I totally agree, it looks stunning in black especially when clean. I hope your changing all the rubbers and seals on the car before build back, makes a HUGE difference, all in the detail!
