Thumbs up Ah, the Alchemy of the Rennlist

You take a little advice from the seers and sages on the Rennlist, dump in one part Gert, one part P-Car DIY (thanks Robin), throw in a few random tools and stir them all together for a sunny weekend afternoon, presto changeo. Euro nose conversion.

Awesome effect..looks really fantastic. I agree with you on P-Car, what an incredible resource. I assisted my neighbor with a PSS-9 installation using Robin Sun's DIY page. Incredible instructions...step by step.

I saw Jimmy's Polar C4S in person and it is one of the nicest C4S I've ever seen...

Jimmy has the painted split grill too on his car (only comes standard on C2S).

About 4 hours total. Thanks to the comprehensive DIY and the completeness of the kit from Gert I had all of the tools ready and all required parts on hand. Would have been faster if I hadn't kept losing screws on my driveway. Really wasn't that difficult, all I had to do was pay for the paint job.

p.s. If someone wants a damaged C4S American-style nose to try and repair on their dime, send an e-mail. It's got a nice crease in the front from a "braille parking method" event and is pretty scarred up from a couple of OTEs...

Tape and staples, wasn't that big a deal. I've heard of people superglueing, too.
