Can't believe how hard it is to find a bumper cover near me that has parking sensors in it. Like trying to find a unicorn!

Oh.....

Rear bumper panel attached with 3m panel adhesive. Stuff is amazing. I'll post pics later.

Long time no see! How are those RB2's treating you?

Long time no see! How’s the speed tech kit 👀
Long time no see! How's the m340 treating you?

Slowly working out my inlet😀 Gotta post an update to my thread, but here's a teaser. As you can see I over-trimmed a silicone elbow, gotta buy another for a redo.

Sweet! So you finally got the bumper fixed? Excited for some pics👍
Structurally is fixed. I need a bumper cover. But I have parking sensors and I have been waiting forever for one to show up in the junk yards near me.

Only non parking sensor cars have been junked.

And I don't want to pay 900 dollars for a new one.

The black stuff is the 3m panel bond. I got it to fit as flush as I could by banging and bending on it. It's not body shop quality at all but it's solid and sound. Works for me.

Well she is still breaking loose at 70mph. I'll be sending logs into carabuser later this week.

Any thoughts on better suspension options? Mine is stock m sport. Never refreshed it yet. It's very mushy.

At least it's not in the car and easy access. I had one too short that was popping off under boost after I did the turbos. Such a pain to do in the car.
