Heat gun/heater on the area to be joined,
soldering iron to fuse it together,
mesh strips heated on the rear for extra strength.

Just needs a bit of filler, paint and a new bumper grill.:happy2:

Looks a good job, always thought it was a waste to dump a bumper that was just cracked.

top suff mate,your getting there

My bonnet arrived last week, £20, needs a bit of work but interestingly the engine bay colour matches the bonnet.
Yes I do have the MK2 grill, makes no sense to fit it yet.

By chance I did a vehicle check with the No. plate given on the car, previous owner had transferred it, good job I hadn't gone for a MOT, I would have been a bit cheesed off.

Your new bonnet colour is Copperleaf Red ( Rover 45 Colour ). Your under bonet is un-laqured Firefrost, They do both look similar.

But great work! :)

i quite like the old rover 400 style grill on it, bit of chrome really blings it up.

Its a 45 one ;)

400 was incorporated into the bumper

I now have a rear electric window kit.
A mate of mine is breaking his 5door civic vti.
Running gear has been sold however the rear doors are no use to Honda owners unless they're replacing accident damage.
So £20 later I have the kit, spare glass and spare rear door handles when they break.
Many of these cars are broken and scrapped on HONDA forums and Ebay with the doors on, please don't pay too much.

Woohoo, I now have electric windows.
