Cheers Kiz.

More pictures later of today's antics.

She's built back up and ready to drive home :)

brilliant work mate, its cars like this that are the reason i love vw's when done correctly they are awesome.

i hope I've done it right in my own way.

so part 3 of this magical repaint weekend.

got in early again today along with another fella i work with to build her up.

first off was to get the door shuts painted.

after a bake we went back in and chassis blacked the arches for added protection and to cover the white over spray.

built the TT flap up.

then obviously slowly and surely got her all back together.

and here see is.

TT sat in place because i forgot the replacement bolts so couldnt put it on until i got home.

when i got home, i was straight in the garage to get a spanner and alan key to get the new bolts on.

some may love, some may hate...but i dont care.

coloured TT flap and gold plated bolts FTW!!

dummy bolts in.

and then fitted to the car.

comments and critisms welcome as always.

love the tt flap not a fan of the gold bolts but like you say its your car so your choice

thats gunna look fappin awesome

I'd have gone with red bolts to match the rest.. Gold kinda has no place on your car.

But then red could look tacky?

Unless you get gold split bolts for the wheels?

oh and yeah, it looks awesome!!

Need to see it with the wheels on

as said on fb, this is now one of my favourite polos....youve done what needed to be done and taken it further =D

you do need to spray that splitter though or get a gti one on there!!! and you could tie the bolts in by switching to studs and getting gold nuts the same as chris phillips has, like the red ones i had as at the minute as nice as they look its just random gold

Now i like the tt cap!!!!

Spray the splitter to what?

I didn't want to go down the GTI route, wanted something from the norm.

As for the gold, it was a little touch I wanted...something to make it stand out and not to over do.

Think they mean spray the splitter gloss black so that it looks new as it looks a little faded compared to the mint car good work :)

Daymmmmmmm

Fuck you Sean!! My hairs not ginger!! It's brown.

My beards ginger though.

The splitter does come up nice with a bit of back to black or tyre shine...it's just dusty atm.

More updates when I get in.

so i booked today off work and went up my mates bodyshop to stick it in his oven to flat and polish it.

6hrs worth of polishing, using 3 different polishes and 3 different mop heads.

how she started in my mates oven.

i was naughty and got a run in the door :(

and i also forgot to mask the door handle holes out, overspray much haha...this was cured by water and a sharp blade.

all flatted down with 2000 wet and dry and 3000 wet on a DA.

bye bye run.

first cut with the mop.

second cut with the mop.

third cut with the mop.

how she stood after 3 different polishes.

the roof was feeling a little neglected.

so that was cleaned up and mopped to hell aswell.

and all finished.

gorgeous work ginge lol

6n2 windscreen on the cards i hope too

funny you should say that actually.........

driving to my mates shop this morning i heard an almighty bang as a stone hit the windscreen.

when i was cleaning the glass up after polishing her, i noticed it had left a very nice chip in the screen.

so rather than having Gavin from Autoglass come down to "stick his special resin" into it, i may go down that route.

do it!!!! wont be able to get it done on the insurance as they replace like for like but they only cost like 110 rrp so surely you should be able to use contacts in the business to get it cheaper =D it would properly finish it off!!!

my mate used to work for TPS and still gets discount

plus itd match the 6n2 roof trims in better aswell.

Very nice job on the paint, makes me excited to get mine done now! Sorry if it's a stupid question but what is different about the 6n2 screen?

its not rounded on the top corners if that makes sense?

rather than curving round, the corner comes straight up to the door.

Looks sweet Rob . Good work my friend . Loving that TT cap with the gold bolts looks spot on . Get the rims back on now bud and jobs a good one . Dave

cheers man, wheels cant go back on yet cause i need 2 tyres fitting which is a job for my mate when i get time to drop them off to him.

also I'm thinking about getting new coilies cause as you can see in pictures on the previous page...there pretty fucked.

i have TA Technics atm...but dont know whether to get another set of those or something better but not to expensive.

defo needs the wheels back on D:

TT cap as grown on me so much hehe! nice touch

i need to finish mine lol but cba :(

haha told you it would be better when id finished.

got a new sticker for it to replace the old TT tyre pressure one i took off.
