Well.... bit of progress for you lot.

The roof of the car was a bit sketchy. The lacquer had gone funny and started to peel in some areas.....

Before:

Initially was just going to get someone to paint it up (which i will probably still do at some point in the future) but tonight came up with a solution which worked out better than i had expected.

With the help of heroic Dan (of DKnight/volkswagen stickers/clubpolo moderating team fame) :lol: had the roof wrapped in matt black vinyl. The fit isn't absolutely perfect but i think it looks awesome and sorts the problem out a peach. So three cheers to Dan!!

Few pics for you (and yes car needs a clean)....

After:

The fit at the very leading edge of the roof was a bit of a difficulty with the vinyl not being quite wide enough to make it work absolutely perfectly but as you can see overall it looks a million dollars.

Wouldn't think this would look good on a light coloured mk3 polo. Roof is an odd shape and might just look like a huge viper stripe.

So a HUGE thanks to Dan. Was a laugh putting it on anyways :-) Oh and the pink skull and cross bones is not staying (just a random sticker i had left from my old pickup) but it marks out the spot where some CNUTS threw dry wall at the car when i was traveling around 60mph nearly put the windscreen through and dented/scratched the car. Mint side of the car scarred up a treat :-( Can't have nice things.

Here are some much more up to date pics of the G40 taken a few days ago.

G40 album!

Currently for sale as maybe needing something more appropriate for eating up the miles. Really don't want to though :-(

Whats you guys think?
