Thanks mate, i'm going to be putting it back to storm grey as i put a purple/orange pearl over it & dont like it ! lol. Its just black carpet dye i got from my work, i'm a valeter. Put it in to a spray bottle & got a pretty good coverage on it.

I decided to change the 3" tailpipe for a diesel style down swept pipe, fed up catching it on speed bumps :lol: ,& when i got that done thought i would smooth the bumper, tailpipe cut out & towing eye cut out. Also bout a 6n2 GTi splitter going to colour code it

Tried on to make sure the tailpipe would miss the bumper

Also smoothed the handles before i paint them
