Well it's been what seem ages ago but came back from holiday and he's had a few probs so wasn't able to paint my car until today. He said he had a lot of prep work to do and trust me my car had a lot of scratches, and prep work that needed doing. Anyway below are the progress pics :) she's now sat in the oven until Friday I cannot wait, slight change of plan with the wheels as they might be left as they are for now due to time and me wanting my car back as I hate being a bus wayne kerr :whistle:

And shes home :)
Two things where not done due to time and or wouldn't fit etc and that consists of:

The front bumper does not 100% line up with the passenger wing bt hey thats what I get for buying a REP bumper and not a gen  :cool:

Over all work was a full respray apart from rear bumper, tailgate and roof.
I am really happy with the outcome however my bonnet may need another spray which will be done again, for free in a few weeks :) and the car has also had window tints (yes the fronts are legal) :)

Looks much better than it did and I like my little twist design of my front bumper, looks alot better in the flesh and there are NO scratches anymore :D just need some good weather so I can give it a huge deep clean, polish and wax  :cool:

BEFORE THE WORK

^^ Notice the different colour in the wing, door and rear quarter.

Do you mean the black part i did in the bumper? I was toying with the idea for months before i made my mind up. The reason i did it was because i wante to try something different, as all to many Mk4's have just the r32 rep theme and i wanted to be different with mine, in pictures im really not a fan myself but when u see the car in person it looks so much better ive only had my car back a day and its already more of a head turner than its ever been lol
