Did you hit that with something to rust-proof it before covering it with the plate filler? If not, any water that gets behind there will accellerate the rust because of the trapped mopisture and the addition of heat.Originally posted by iwantspeed View Postscratch from the previous owner:hitler:

A little sanding, masking, and a shot of white rustoleum would be fine for where it is located.Originally posted by iwantspeed View PostComment

rear euro trim
new trim
small crack in the long back piece
fucking shopping cart cracked my bumper trim
previous owner did not have trunk carpet linings.
from putting things back there they would knock around and dent the wall pushing a small dent outwards towards the bumper
which caused this.
masked up to repair the damage
People say you can rip off your plastic trim with out taking the bumpers off.
All though you can I chose not to. The front euro trim has no screws but the rear does.
size t20 male
location of the screw
trim removed, 2nd view of where the screw location is.
old vs. new

My Neighbor wanted a shout out that they helped me put the rear bumper back on.
all done
recap

new tails
euro plate filler

That is a nice car, I love your attention to little detail. Once I get all the major stuff sorted out with my car, I'll start doing minor things like that. What do you have planned next?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
