This is exactly the look I'm trying to give to the car.
I've been working all winter to clean some stuff that was not at my liking.

-Crash-

Love the car! very clean swap, but one thing, its not an 89, unless the front bumper was swapped it has a s4 front bumper and 89 was s5.

You are right. I bought the car from a member here and he has a 1988 so I think he swapped my bumper for his.
I didn't notice until some people told me I had a S4 bumper on my S5. I didn't know they were different.
If one day I put my hand on a S5 bumper I'll swap it back.

Good observation.

The S5 bumper was being held on by a bolt on each wheel well and the bolts along the header panel, so while I did put the bumper from my 1988 on there I did not to swap and be deceptive, but rather out of safety. Had I not borrowed it at one time to put on my convertible because it was already notched out for the intercooler I would not have known this.

I ended getting another S5 bumper but it turned out to be wavy as ****, I left it out in the sun upside down and tried to shape it but it would not go back into shape.


The bumper on my 1988 was off a red S5 I had painted 6 years ago that got a FC2000 front bumper.

I didn't know what was the story about the front bumper , neither I knew the S4 and S5 thing.

This week end I'm getting the front left fender fixed up.I don't know how it will turn out but we'll see.

I wish I had the funds for a paint job like you did on yours..
Your Black 88 is ...

Thanks Rob.
Got the lens on Friday the 9th , fixed the broken stud , sanded them down and spray painted them.
I'm trying that for now and if I don't like the look , I'll buy new one like I was going to do.
