My advice is shop around. Just because its cheap or expensive will not guarantee a quality job. What area are you in

I thinking of repainting the front bumper only because of the stone chips i think i have like 7 total and someone got too excited with pressure washer as some chips now flaking peeling i only ask as a car detailer recommended them.

Any real shop wont just paint the bumper, they'd blend it into the guards and the bonnet

I recommend vulcan p+p in canning vale, amazing work at a great price. I may be biased as i work on there drag cars lol

These guys were pretty average in their quote to me, but I can't talk about their work as I haven't used them.

Z00key uses In-Style Collision's  in O'Connor and his car looks great, the guy was professional and provided me with a fair quote, I'll most likely be using them *soon*.

U cant match sunburn and fade. With a gd blend ul never see it

A good painter will blend it on the bumper and wont need to do the bonnet and guards.
Base coat to cover the repaired area and flick it out on the rounded parts of the bumper.
Thats the way I've done 1000s of them

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
