Nice work mate, while your about it are you planning on dropping some xenons in rather than the standard lights? You know you will only end up retro-fitting later if you dont :wink:
-
good work, carnt wait to see the finished result!?
-
That splash guard does look right odd - like a crazy solid tyre with a bit missing
-
how come they wrote it off it looks an easy one to put back on the road :confused: did it need any jig work at all ?
-

the inner ing need to be pulled forward and the leg pulled down as it must of hit some thing high didnt even bend the leg just pushed it up by an inch
-
Out of interest where did you get your bumper from mate?
-

nice work sir :happy2: get some more pics up

The red on the wheels isn't doing it for me personally, but the car has been brought back to life. Looking great. :congrats:
-
Need some more up close pics of your wizardry, but that looks in great nick! Top work fella, can I ask if you re-sprayed the whole car or just the front section? And while you were at it did you get the rear bumper sprayed up?

I dont know, I guess (and correct me if im wrong guv) but you have tried to carry through the red GTI line from the front grill, and I bet non of you think the blue and red dont go together there :wink:

once the vinyl is done you will see why i have done the red on the wheels . it was booked in to be done today but a van thay was doing went pete tong so now ive got to wait till the 10th of may or find some where else which im hoping to do tomorrow .
-
I like it :happy2:
-
^ me too :happy2:
I think a fantastic rescue job has obviously been done and it's looking healthy now.
Keep it up :drinking:

I have to plough in as well and say I'm not a fan of the red stuff. I have done away with the red on my grille and calipers and gone with silver instead. Other than that, it looks ace.
I personally would have gone with either silver or blue accents on your car, however it is yours and therefore up to you. :happy2:
You've made an excellent job on the repair, it looks good as new! :congrats:
