cheers mate , its been fully resprayed by a professional body work geezer in cornwall , south west uk , the original paint was memory pearl red , and restored the rims and respray them satin black (semi matte) coz the gloss black looks cheap

I like it. Could look a very mean polo! Change the back though to smoked or something along them lines IMO.

I like it :)

Advice - press enter between each tag

looks like a good quality spray, others are a tad streaky but that looks top notch

looks good mate, i'd fit all red rear lights to it and maybe loose the red bits on the wheels and drums, a bit of lowering would go a miss either, but it does look good. have you had the door shuts and such painted to match tho?

looks spot on, needs to be dropped on its arse and some fat blingy rims imo.

cheers peeps , thanx for you are comments , yup all I'm left with now is a set of black angel eyes , dark tinted windows , and slam it on some 40mm coilies , and put my leather interior , german plates are illegal i been told some in gonna get some metal uk plates , and thats me finished with my (The Black) I've already rewired and fitted the mk5 tailights and it already looks different

thnx 4 you are comments guys it really makes it worth

*the only thing he enjoys more than chasing sheep is The Black*

looks rather stealthy, ditch the tints and smack it on its arse...or smoke the front lights

agreed ,matte is the way 2 go lol , i initially was gonna paint it pearl white and satin black rims , but then the paint turned up 2 be very expensive and been told told it only looks good on sunny condition , and u know since we're not in jamaica i opted 4 the matte , anyway there's couple pics after tinting rear windows and gave it a quick wash enjoy

(still dunno how to put pics straight and not links since some u guys are lazy to click on each link :p)

now I'm left with putting the debadged grill , and slamming it 50mm and few bits in the engine and the interior

hope u guys can gimme some fresh ideas

cheers

Looks good! Planning on changing the front lights??

he did everything , from scratch , it used to be red , and it costed me only around 650£ coz he's a bro in law of very good friend of mine , they quoted me 1800£ everywhere else , some even more than that
