yeah i could fit in 1/2 a day, the plan was to work on mine over the weekend then go to brands for the masters festival on monday.

ive got a front valance you can have as well, but you'd need to replace it as i have plans for it! no rush though

It's been a very productive day today.

Repainted the rear valance and drivers door bottom, fitted the front splitter and added the pinstripes down the rubbing strips. Also fitted some GTI badges front and rear earlier in the week.

Pics:













Paint finish and match aren't 100% but it's not a show car and I just wanted it to look tidier and more original, not mint. Just need to pick up a front valance and the plastic above it and job's a gooden.
