My CSL in the paint shop-OEM Bumper?

Silver Bullet · 23-02-2010, 07:18 PM

Thought i would post a couple of the CSL in the paint shop for a freshen up.

My painters had about 6 CSL's in before and he reckons my bumper is not OEM.................(or it is but an earlier version)

It fits perfectly and i would not have thought it was not the real deal

What do you guys think?

Thanks Shimmy

This is pre paint, he reckons the curved bit around the air intake & the other side is not as carved as they have seen, and the top indented line around the front is a little shallower than on others?

Looks genuine, the line might be shallower as the people who painted it before didnt sand it down properly and is thus filled with more paint residue then it should be.

Funny you should say that, i spoke to the painter today and he was scratchin the bumper back & he reckoned it had about 6 paint over paints on it............That must account for some loss of profile

Alex,

I heard through the grape vine she was having a coat of paint, she will look lovely when finished.

We still haven't had that food yet, I am loosing serious weight here.

Speak soon.
