Tornado Red Mk5 GTi - NOW SOLD
Simon_2.0t:
Got a few bits done recently.
Rubbed the headlights down as has some hazing/marks/chips. Started with wet and dry grades and worked up to machine polish with glass pad.
Some pics:
Before
During
After
Much happier :happy2:
Also ordered some 3M paint protective film for the leading edges of my sideskirts:
Picked my sideskirts up from the bodyshop. Had them rubbed down, smoothed (black textured affect removed), primer and painted. Looking much better:
Hopefully stop them getting chipped/marked.
Then fitted them at the weekend. Got some 6mm foam 3M double sided tape to fix them to the car as factory did.
Handy tip if doing the same, measure up a bit extra tape, then remove leaving a tag. So once fitting in place can peal the backing off easy. Warm up with hairdryer and fix with screws, job done!
Painted the end torg screw Tonrado Red also
All done, much happier with overall look of the car now.
Just need to take the decent camera out for some better pics soon.
