So my VZs are now off, and on went (for the weekend) the winter tyres on the 5 spoke A3 wheels, which reminded me just how damn much they suit the thing!

But then I decided the car had been very naughty and as such I murdered it.

Who also changed my alternator belt and tensioner and fixed my squeakyness!

if you dont mind me asking how much roughly did it cost to do whole car in plasti?

Anway paint looks decent underneath!

About £130 all including the gun paint thinners etc

Going to wait till this one is sold and then just going to swap it over and bend over for my insurance company to charge me what they will

:thumbsup:

Mine's cost MORE than the 4mo, which frankly I find insane!
