There are many ways to pull the arches. Getting my mate who's a sprayer to spray arches and doors and boot lid all at once and blend it all in. Wheels may be going black. I like em because they stick further out. Makes it feel stirdier mate. I will get that picture angle tomorow, tried through front window but want gunna happen.
Plan tomorow is too pull the rear arches out.

Pic of seats can't be that hard, you saw mine....

I was just curios how you did it as it's something I've never done, only method I'm aware of is using a hammer and dollies.

Hwat gun to do the backs to heat metal and dollie. Then a scaffold pole to role lip in.
On the front though I used a thick sheet and mole grips to pull them, not the best way but I new I'd have to fill them to get em even ne way. Then scafold pole again to role a little more and I have seen yours. I will go for side view tomorow. I want my arches more to go lower now its on 16s.

Yeah it was a baby blue mk2 with red teledials, think it was only a driver too not gti? It is funny how we have managed to come about your bonnet, did you buy it like that or do it yourself as it is a really good job. I will try anf find a pic of the car in the mag and the bonnet on it. :grin:

It was on my donor car gti then. You'l be surprised to learn the teledials were actually dyno-rod orange and the car was originally atlas grey, then Damo covered the whole car in blue gaffa tape! You would have seen it in that state. He then removed all the tape (making a mess) and brushed the whole car matt black, which is how I bought it, and the mechanicals of it all live in my mk2 now.

I bought the rat 1300 you saw with the bonnet already on it, but wasn't a fan of the rusty bonnet look so bought a black one with a huge vw badge sprayed on it. The guy I bought the car off did that iron cross over 3 or 4 attempts till he was happy with it, he spent a lot of time on it so its not surprising it turned out alright!

If you need it off your car mate let me know and i will store it at my mums, or do you mean you are planning something with it????

I really love the bonnet and wanted something rat like that to make my car stand out, only paid £10 for it and i am only putting it on when i fancy a bit of the rat look  :grin:
