Do you know how they smoothed the joins under the lights ? if they just put filler over it it will crack mate , iv done on my green one and after 3 days it cracked so i decide to weld them together

AAAAAArrrrrrGGGGGhhhhhh I hate driving a 6n...youve had the same smoothing done as me!!!! lol just glad mines not black now lol will be nice mate

  • Author

well tbh mate i got what i wanted done to my car, like i didnt go about lookin at loads of other 6n's for ideas! just so happens urs has the same smoothing... no cars the same at the end of the day!

Dont worry mate...I'm not bitching and am really looking forward to seeing it done...i just thought id mention =D

plus were at opposite ends of the country lol =D

can i ask though, why did you spray the rear beam green???

  • Author

ah ok my bad dude sorry for having a wee snap there :) but haha thats true! not many polos up here that have nearly as much work done as what i just got... well in fife anyways! haha

well basiclly as u can tell by the title I'm going for a murder theme but added my own to that with the bloody so the themes black and red! but with the under side of the car i just wanted it to be totally differnt since u cant see it unless its on the MOT ramp of you are workins on it :) so the full under side subframe, rear beam etc will be that colour should be pretty cool :grin:

cheers for the comments buddy
