Jim....I LOVE you

.....but I do wish it was original Citroen "Devil" Red.
If it was the original red I would be wishing to repaint it because it would be all flake and peel .

I can live with the paint as there is no flake, I do quite like the dark gloss grey but would prefer original, it has some orange peel but is glossy with no flake.............I hate my OCD

Really it is only me and "those who know" who are offended (or not), so I can live with it until I win the lottery and paint it pink

Still cant understand why, if it was originally a gloss finish to the bumpers, you didnt colour key the whole car though. Just MY ocd i suppose ...

I didn't....the French guy I got it from did the work...

When asked why he used a colour so close (Renault) to the original red he shrugged....said oi e oi ...cus I liked it and shrugged again, there is no point in going further with a Frenchman after a shoulder shrug and "stupid Englishman" look on his face

As it was resprayed prior to Als purchase

I understand now ... so it was renault red/black when you got it. I've always thought that you had it sprayed early on in your ownership. Why dont you get a quote for the bumpers then?

[Dark metallic grey]

Because I have better things to do
Because I have to strip it totally to take it to the Original Blue
Because the car is worth less than the re-spray (to do it correctly)
Because I do not have the time
Because as soon as I do it I will bend it and have to do it again
Because even if it grates on me I cannot be arsed ? (did I say that? )
Because only a few people think like me and you...

Well I love it as it is Alasdair and I could out-OCD you any day

[Stickyfinger]

and it bugs me endlessly that you are Jim

Original badges redone.....

to replace these

[chinkostu]

How did you do them al? Mine are faded to buggery

[Stickyfinger]

I used the inside of a foil packet (the outer wrapping of a 8 pack) of some Tunnock's Caramel Bars to give the chrome look and stuck down with epoxy, trimmed with a scalpel blade No10 when dried and cleaned up, then coated with epoxy (pouring type) to seal , this I then cooked off on top of a radiator once dry.

DIY sourced materials at its best....yummy as well

We model makers are a resourceful bunch when we need a material

[CitroJim]

I've seen the badges for real and they do look good!
