Good progress joe alot of effort must have gone into your door handles and they have come out spot on
Its always daring going for something different with the rx2 but i agree with the others it looks really good i think it goes well because your gti is black

You too man i really wish it wouldn't cost me so much to drive there

Amazing job with the handles!!! Like wow! Sometimes rattle can spraying ive seen looks rubbish, lots of orange peel, and a bit tacky looking, but you've put so much time and effort in. Really fantastic job
And the wheels look great! Really good choice with them!
