I work in Woolwich  :lipsrsealed:

Small world as I know you, I was round his house when you came to get the tire.


I would do it Dave if you were closer. Need to visit IOW at some point, as I've never been.


Did more work on the car. Picked the new bonnet up for £30 from some mansion, managed to fit it and install a new headlight  along with a few other things. However from all this there is more bad news, turns out the impact damaged the bonnet lock commpletely, we managed to bend it back enough to latch and lock, this will need replacing. The big plastic mould that hold the radiator has bent with the n/s wing being knocked out off alignment. Will get a quote and second opinion on damage as my partners uncle has a body shop before I carry on any more work.  :angry:

Hopefully my golf will get fixed otherwise you will.

What you got planned in the bag.

Shame they never burnt Woolwich to the ground during the riots. Where about you work in that delightful place, I'm in the town centre by the ferry.

Was it a single sheet you used for bonnet mate, or strips stuck down together?

Single sheet, just have an extra hand or two handy as it is do-able, that way you don't have to match the pattern up then. Try it out on something small too, as using the heatgun to much will burn the carbon, over stretch it whilst its hot and on cooling it can split a little. Brilliant stuff though, pm me and I'll link you what I was recommended. I will also send you a list of whats needed and stainsey's guide he sent me.
