The bad side...

Looking good

How long did it take for you to spray the whole car and how much ?

Lexx · by **Lexx** on Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:36 pm

I didn't do a rattle can job, and my brother had to help as im a bit of a dipshit... so paint cost more

Cost £110 for 2 litres of primer and 2.5 litres of top coat cellulose paint...

Already had thinner so didn't account for that...

Took a day to prep & primer and a day to reprep & spray, but took another day to strip and prep and another day to put it all back together

'I bought myself a Heckblende'

Got a bit dark, so only a pixelated picture and being held on with my other hand as I took the photo. I love it

That's awesome

I have something like that reserved for a Metro, which says Turbo on it. Proper 80's. Love it.

I found one that said Golf, but ideally I wanted it to match my rear lights.

Nice progress hun, wasn't feeling the jetta front when it was blue, looks soooo much better in cream

really suits it

I still need to be convinced on the brown colour coding tho, you need to get yourself the brown interior you find is other mk2 5 doors

The chrome bumpers would look sooo swish, even the mk1 golf ones... dunno if they would fit like..dont know much about mk1s

And seat beads !!!!

beige interior is going to be difficult... I might be getting a plain tweed interior and then doing plastics etc in brown for now.

hahah cool stuff , tint the reverse light to match

Lexx · by **Lexx** on Sun Nov 16, 2008 12:55 pm

Daylight pictures.. Still not fitted, I was holding onto it, hence why not perfectly straight either..

What is up with all this dirt im getting??

Here it is currently, looking in not the perfect state... Still need to sort my bumpers and other plastics out and clean it...

Wheres the love homies?

EURO_M4D · by **EURO_M4D** on Tue Nov 25, 2008 10:51 pm

Looks good mate, how would you fit that anyway ?

BigTony · by **BigTony** on Tue Nov 25, 2008 11:12 pm

Liking the combo mate.

And if you do the grill brown (Which you should) what about doing the VW badge cream too with brown on the insides. (Like mallo's badge with the orange).

A combo of sticky pads and the same screws i'd put the plates on with.

Which is why i've not put it on yet, as I wanna get the plates first

After my photoshop of the brown grill i'm not sure on all of it. I am quite used to the black grill and brown bumper combo atm

I'll see how it goes as I do random stuff over time of ownership

EURO_M4D · by **EURO_M4D** on Wed Nov 26, 2008 12:44 am

Oh right sounds good

what sort of plates you getting :?:

Lexx · by **Lexx** on Wed Nov 26, 2008 8:00 am

I REALLY wanted to get Cali plates... but they are illegal lol

Probs getting 6x12 perspex plates...

MetroLee · by **MetroLee** on Wed Nov 26, 2008 4:12 pm
