Now sending you progress pics is what I call excellent service from a garage/workshop :notworthy: :happy2:
Saintsteve:
Is a VW dealer doing the respray or an Independant garage?
Are they using VW's own Tornado red, as it can be an absolute balls ache to have a perfect match on Red.

To be fair i'm paying £760 to have the bonnet and bumper painted so its the least they can do :)

Yes VW Chelmsford and I've banged into them the importance of the colour match (which is why im paying to have the bonnet and bumper done there even when their quote was about £260 more than the next most expensive)
They are refusing to blend the wings to the doors as part of the 'good will' repair but if its not right then I'm not going to sit back and accept it lying down.
To be fair... when I bought it I knew one of the wings had been painted (checked it all over with a paint depth gauge) and the colour match was actually excellent so fingers crossed they can do just as good of a job!
I've got fears of it coming back multiple colours though. My first car was a 1990 honday crx in rio red. It was lots of different shades or rio red though so I had a full respray in milano red and it looked awesome.

I hope it turns out spot on fella :happy2:
