Charlie's work in progress

Slowly building my 2016 levorg gts spec b. Sorry far have updated to a 2019 levorg sti sport front bumper, aftermarket vland headlights. Just picked up WRX/sti skirts and rf guard today,needs a little bit of repair. Gotta source a LF guard then I'll look to get it all painted up.
Then will get a new front lip, black out the chrome and same for the mirrors. Hopefully I'll be happy then , though I have been eyeing up some te37s.....

Coming along nicely, good luck with the guards

Thanks bro, found the last guard. And just got myself some matte black sti badges for the guards. Hopefully get into getting the parts fixed up this weekend. Then look at prime and paint

Blacked out the chrome trim on the tail gate today. Will do the front bumper ones in the next few days

Did you vinyl or plastic dip, looking at doing this soon as well, will likely do window trim and front drls

 

[charlie_ching]

Painted it. Basically just scuffed it back, then was recommended to used black etch primer, then painted it satin black

 

[lerroy]

Ah fully removed?

 

[charlie_ching]

Yea

Just finished deleting the chrome parts on the front bumper. I think I'll get a different badge for the grille aswell. I should've painted the mirrors aswell while I was at it.

 

[lerroy]

Yea

Hey mate

I just had a go at removing the chrome bumper trim with no luck...any tips ?

removed all the plastic trim to expose inside boot lid
Removed the 6x 8mm bolts
It would move slightly but it looked to be joined to the entire piece going up to back window ?
didnt wanna push too hard and break it

 

[charlie_ching]

I removed the whole piece up to the window, should just be 2 bolts either side for that from memory. The rest of it's clipped on, they're pretty tight, I managed to bust one of the clips, but had some spares from the second hand skirts I got. I'm pretty sure there will be two more bolts to remove the chrome piece once you get the whole thing off.

Little update, end of next week I should have my car back from the paintshop. WRX guards and skirts being installed, front of the car will have fresh paint blended through the doors. And I've just purchased lips for the front bumper and skirts which should arrive this week too. Great little Xmas gift for myself

 

[charlie_ching]

Got my car back tonight, WRX guards and skirts been installed and painted. Had to tinker a bit for the levorg STI sport front bumper to match up with the WRX guards. Still might play around with the fitment when I have time.
Waiting on the lip kit to arrive this week which will finish the look I'm after...... Or if I get crazy, maybe some wheels. I like the STI ones I have, but want them to sit out a bit more.

 

[charlie_ching]

Put the lip kit on today, I'll get better pics later on. But happy with how it looks. Not looking forward to the scrap when I drive back into my underground carpark
