Repaired the damaged mesh and grills on the GTAe bumper and painted and fitted them. the bumper looks great compared to the original condition when I bought it - many hours of sanding and plastic welding has gone into this skin. Should have some decent pictures and progress this week coming.

Finished-up pretty much everything in the engine bay for the time being. I made new aluminum brackets (which I then polished) for:
1) The Cold air intake
2) Radiator
3) Intercooler
4) Main fuse panel and relocated the horn relay and coil
I also replaced most of the original fasteners with new stainless Torx or Allen head fasteners.
Tomorrow I will hopefully mount the GTAe bumper and wire-up the lights.

Got around today, to wiring up some new Hella horns which are louder than the weaker factory horns and I made some new brackets to mount them - for whatever reason, this bracket took ages, so my progress today was hampered by that, at least its done.
Also I mocked up the GTAe bumper and wired up all the lights, its starting to look like a car (from the front anyway).
Happy 4th to all

So the Euro bumper bracket that I bought from Piotr was too terribly rusted and had lost its structural integrity, so I am making a en entire new one from flat stock aluminum. I would have finished it this weekend but ran out of aluminum (doh!)..I have most of it mocked up including some of the more "complex" sections out of cardboard. I really enjoy this type of fab work, in the process there is a benefit from weight savings and a piece that will never rust.
I made all new brackets for the radiator and intercooler out of aluminum and here is a sample of the weight savings:
