Mid nose job !

Not posted for a while. Thought I'd post some pics of the Celebration. I'm in the middle of re-spraying the front and back bumpers. Difficult to find a 480 without a crack in the paint somewhere.
Shame I'm having to loose the black stripe off the front bumper, can't decide whether it looks better with it on or off ?
Mid nose job
Found a good use for 2x News of the World though !
Hope to get it finished before the temperature drops to -10

Good work! That bumper was letting the side down. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Lookin' good!
And if you find yourself at a loose end once you've finished, my Celeb could do with a 'nose-job' too!! Then again, it could actually do with a full respray..............(ah, the joys of 480 ownership!!).

Tell me about it, I had mine on the road for 3 months before I had to hide it in a garage for some rapairs. A loose end may be some time away
If you are re-spraying some bits though and need a hand, PM me

Finished !!
It's not 100% perfect but a vast improvement !!
Can't decide if the bumpers look better with or without the stripe ??

Wow!!! That looks fantastic! I think it looks better without the strips, especially on white. Great job, fancy doing a few of mine

Much better.
Prefer it with the stripes personally. I think it looks unfinished otherwise.

Hey nice work!
Think i would prefere it with the stripes (they are "go faster stripes" after all lol and they work
) lol, on a more serioues note, i saw some of the stripes for sale and they were sooooo expensive! When i respray mine my friend said he might make me some vinyls to fit (will be a hell of a lot cheaper as you will only need a small amount!) or i might spray it in...
Let us know what you decide to do in the end

Looks like you've done a good job there. IMO, keep the black stripe. One of the things that makes white look good on this car is the black to break it up-too much white is over powering!
Good job none-the less
