nice why is it called a malibu?

Nice work mate. The first "cleaned" picture shows just how well the paint has come up, some good depth there for an old car.

I reckon it needs the steels painting next and maybe some lower profile tyres - 165/65 or 175/60's if they're 5 1/2 J rims?

Got any plans for it?

I'm liking the look of the Coupe S in your avatar too, got any more pics?

that paintwork comes up brilliantly for a car that is almost 20 years old, nice touch with the red inserts aswell

Nice, I thought it was going to be white with a malibu theme lol.

Did you mask and rattle can the bumper just straight on with red or did you use a plastic primer and any keying of the surface?

I was just going to use the same trim tape I used on the grill, looks cool anyway..

Looks amazing. Its amazing how tough old VW paint is.

Looks good mate ..

I did the same with my bumper insert's took bloody ages !

As asked above how did you do them ??

a malibu...nice!

love the rare mk2 editions. especially when they're mint like that

where they fix into the bumper there is a little metal clip at each end romove that and the slide out

it needed a bit of glue to make it fit snug again bit nothing major !

That paint came out amazing. Red always fades worst but comes up the nuts!

bit late, but i must say this looks spot on, couple of questions, firstly were you get the clear indicator lens from, are they polo ones or do golf ones fit and secondly how have you hit it with the lowerin stick, have the chopped the springs or put collies on, lookin for the cheapest way to get a good stance, ta
