It isn't perfect but touched up the little bits i missed :) paint's flaking off the wheels, front bump strip needs another paint, filler in bumpers cracked, bonnet and roof needs flatting down... but i now have no money what so ever so this is how it will be for edition.. if it makes it :)

Looks sweet tho dude!!! See ya at edition :afro:

The matte red looks awesome. Reminds me of a hot rod for some reason  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Dude, you really should have shares in the AA! Was it rubbage that caused it?

Like it, got a soft spot for matt cars, unlucky with the blow out

Stretched tyres and extra strain on the sidewalls as a guess. :undecided:
