Haha thanks guys. When I respray this car in ds (if I still own it in a few years) its gonna get new OEM euro trim. Lol there are barely any tabs left on these..

[tg318is]

Here's the product of my boredom/low patience lol

[freeride53]

after working on the euro trim for a few hours my lungs hurt and im light headed.
gonna take a nap #poorhealth #lol

[freeride53]

Finished all of the rear bumpers euro trim and freshened up the center trim
it looks good. Could have sanded shit down a tiny bit more, but it'll do as the car will get an entire respray in a few years and by then, i'd have to get new euro trim.

looks good i'd say! later today, I'll have to power sand the front trim down, prime, paint, and install.

[freeride53]

I went back and got some more bondo and filled all 4 corner trims.
now for the waiting game, and to sand down tomorrow, prime, und paint.

[freeride53]

ok, now i realized that i skipped a step and went from fiberglass straight to bondo filler, skipping fiberglass bondo hair repair.
so i'll just scrape it all off back down to the fiberglass again??

[freeride53]

damn so far this afternoon, my first time using bondo was a flop.
put waaaay too much bondo on the trim pieces and it was flakey..maybe even bad bondo?
applying it was a bitch since my spackling tool was too small.
oh well, i got the fiberglass part, spot-on correct.
just the bondo. gonna try to mend it all up tomorrow, put the fronts on, and do the rear.
even mended the cracks in my front plastic bumper with the fiberglass stuff!

today i cleaned the living trut out of the car. then i started to remove all of the bumper trim for the diy euro trim tomorrow.

then i'm going to lightly sand/respray the iS lip.

Glad to say I have found a new home for the car. ;)

Every time you post up Peugeot finds I get an itch for a turbo lol

Lol same. If I was you though, I'd find a trouble-free V6 5-speed if that itch ever spread around your body.

Fixed it today! We spent 3 hours at the junk yard, met some cool people and heard some cool stories being told by some O.G car master techs that happened to be around grabbin' parts. Also stumbled upon a MINT MINT MINT Peugeot 505 Turbo so we grabbed the entire trunk with spoiler for my own 505, which is almost ready for paint.


Suuch a productive day.

I grabbed a 318i vert's speed sensor plug with a foot + of harness, crimped it on to my harness, BAM fixed it...

Awesome awesome day.
