thanks for pointing out that the cost was already mentioned M6TTF!! It's been a long week.

I'm serious about getting my done to. It's between new wheels or smoothies!

Ill take more pics today, once the batteries are charged. It doesnt look modded at all in real life, just makes the car look like its alot more modern.

CANT WAIT TO SEE THE PICS MATE! im constantly checking back to see if you posted them yet!

it might sound like a really dumb question but what would happen if your central locking failed to open doors? How would you use the key?

has yours been filled or plastic welded phil?

Plastic welded and then a tiny layer of fibre glass on the outside to get it perfectly level, didnt want any bodge going on, even a thin layer of bodge can change shape, i insisted they did it properly.

Looking really nice mate its a good job. I was going to keep mine silver as well after i smoothed it all but decided to change the colour too.

surely there must be a skim of filler on there to get it smooth, fibreglass isnt very workable/shapeable!

Looks awesome Phill

You gonna be at VWNW at Tatton Park? Think it'll be around August time IIRC.

Yeh obviously there is a skim, but they didnt use it to fill anything whatsoever. They got it pretty perfect before they touched it with bodge so that it came out really good.

gotcha - very impressive work. Wonder if the garage underquoted you, without realising the length of time it would take. be interesting to see if they quoted a similar price to another member

that was a bargain price for that work m8, my dad is making me pay for my work! that is cruel

Well they had the car for 9 days, and my mates friends with them and went down to check on it everyday, they where working on it for all 9 days, so i recon i got a good deal. It was "mates rates" tho, i got the handles, bootlock and sills for free really.

what did they do to the sills phil?

Just did the insides, where scratched off chicks getting into my car with high heels
