Covering the front bumper. The most difficult. — Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 2001
Here yesterday and got his hands to the front bumper. Like everyone who pulled it and promised me, it turned out to be perhaps the most difficult element.
Initially, I planned to generally replace this bumper with a lip with new ones, but finances do not allow, and decided to leave this one in the winter. Its condition can be estimated from the photo:
He was repeatedly beaten and made, moreover, according to the collective farm - with paper clips))
The lip was soldered from a large number of pieces of plastic of various origins, native - 60 percent. And, of course, the whole thing was broken.
there were torn holes in the bumper and a decent amount of putty.
All violent places have been repaired and reinforced with steel mesh
then sanded and primed.
brought to a smooth state (as far as the bumper allows)
And the wrapping process began.
Of course, the central part is heated and stretched first, so that there are as few folds as possible along the edges
peot reaches to the brim and the most difficult thing in this bumper — tumanki. They had to pull the film to the maximum. Long and boring. There were some small bumps, but it's not scary.
then the edges are finished, bent ...
Well, the lip to the heap, it is generally without problems. Collecting!
spent almost a day. on the pasting itself - four hours. Satisfied with the result. I hope it will be enough for the winter, it is painful for us that they are harsh in terms of roads.
Now we need to put all this, wash the car and take a picture of the final result.

Thanks. Hands are ordinary, the main thing is not to be afraid to take and do. As it was said there - The road will be mastered by the walking one. The bortovik was created for this purpose, in order to show the ability to independently assemble a good car.
Just platinum hands! Every time, remembering your logbook, I admire the work done and especially the fact that everything is done by hand!
her ... we pull together, here at least 4 hands are needed ... and then we play))
I imagine - the hair dryer makes noise, the film cracks and stretches, the master mumbles something obscene under his breath (stretches badly!).
And the background of the seasons on the instrument!
Thanks. he is far from the new one, but now they look much better)
My wife plays, I'm learning a little.
It worked out great. Pictured is the new bumper.
And who played the piano all the way? (lid open)
you've got such a beauty! handsome) I am proud that in our country there are such people!)
your reports are like music. Looking forward to the next album)
(look at the piano lid is not down)
Yes, Pasip. This is what we were aiming for when we decided to radically change the color)
Thanks. Even though people don't do that. There are many examples even here, on the drive.
It worked out great! Considering what was originally, and what has become, the result is simply amazing!
The most understandable tutorial on how to glue the bumper! Thanks!
Golden hands!
Zhzhosh Tem well done :) As always with gifts to you :) I already want to see her live :)
Thanks. It's no wonder people do this every day. I just show that everyone can do it with the desire and patience.
Bravo! such a great finished look!
Do you reinforce with a special mesh or in the old fashioned way from columns?
better at room temperature. I installed it the next morning. and so they say that it is desirable to keep the day warm.
