My Jetta TDI

<< < (6/18) > >>

Tank:
Right now I'm a bit tight up for cash as had to do a DSG service, one tyre, tax and insurance in one month so I think I will just go for GTI brakes for the time being.
I will wait until i can find a cheap pair of S3 brakes as its easy enough to sell the GTI brakes at what I got them for.

I did get the bargain of the century last week though. GTI front and back anti roll bar with bushes for a fiver :)

I'm still in shock about that one. I know its only 1 or 2 mm thicker but every little helps.

Tank:
I got the spray cans out today again.

Removed the rear bumper.


I used high build primer and gave it 3 thick coats. Then i sanded it down starting with 400 grain sand paper going up until al the texture was taken out. This is the result.


Then i gave it 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of lacquer. A little tip is to heat up the lacquer before you spray it to make it go on smoothly.




All i need to do is buff it up tomorrow and re fit it and hopefully it will look great.

Doesn't look like a bad finish at all there mate! It's all in the prep lol you seem to have done a nice job!  :drinking: :drinking:

The Jetta looks weird without a rear bumper sort of like a transformer  :signLOL:
