And this is why I chose Reflex to do the work! Sorry my attempt to get the bumper mounting sorted before giving it to you hasn't worked as hoped, but as usual Matt, your skills are truly on another level.

No worries dude. Its much easier when you have a workshop full of kit.
The work that you have done yourself is outstanding and your plastic welding skills are better than mine :D

Heres the biggest update so far. Reflex have been working their magic and these are the results. To say I'm excited about seeing this finished is an understatement. The job I'm on in Amsterdam has been awful and so to come home to see this update on fb has made it all worthwhile!

Even without paint, the lines are looking fantastic! It's almost like watching an episode of West Coast Customs! 8)

After a brief chat with Reflex to check on progress and discovering they had issues with the debadged grill I had made as it kept cracking (my fault for trying to be unique!), it looks like they are on the home stretch. The Caddy has made it to primer stage and is currently in the booth. Not sure if this link will work but there's a video of the van on their facebook page (like it if you haven't already as there's alway something awesome going on there!)

It is killing me but will be worth the wait in the end. They've just started work on another Golf R bumper on a Caddy Maxi and the RAC to RAD Caddy is getting a MK7 Golf GTi front bumper. They're definitely dialling the technique in and there's talk of making a production run of different bumpers so Reflex are definitely the ones to talk to about getting the bumper done.
