Decided my car needed a few bits to finish it off, mainly a genuine gsi spoiler as some of you may agree!
Progress pictures over the weekend:
Thanks to rob for the spoiler


Stripped the boot of all the bits.

Grinded back the rust,bootlock and wiper hole.

Progress on (you guessed it) semi-smooth boot.Never done one before so just guess work lol.

Ready for a bit of high build primer.

All primed.

Flatted down ready for paint.

Basecoat applied.

clearcoat being applied.

Had my windows tinted sat morning aswell, realy pleased with the overall results.

PMSL, i just realised how much of your car used to be mine
Spoiler
Strut Brace
Backbox
Doorcards
Doorpockets
Seatbelt Pretensioners

just a couple of your little ideas left and it'll be 100% spot on
