WIll have to wait until tomorrow to have a good look though, once it's dried properly and it's light

Not too sure if I over sprayed it yet, will have to wait until tomorrow, but from what I could see it looks good.

I'll post a pic up tomorrow mate, I'll stick it in the Grille get a pic showing the whole front then a close up of it.

I've had a look at it in the house and it looks real good actually, came out pretty nice.

Someone has to

I think I'll buy a card for my mum and dad's digi cam so I can use it and I'll get a few pics tomorrow

Update: I've sprayed it again, as the f****r stuck to the newspaper, plus the T didn't seem as shiny as the G or I.

Let's see how it looks tomorrow

Make like little mounds of blue-tac and push the spikes of the GTI text into it, so its held secure and off the paper - no chance of sticking

Don't you just love spraying

It's all good fun but the result is never what you pictured it to be...

What didn't I think if that

Still i'm sure it will turn out ok, I'll check tomorrow.

@Mysteryboy, bar sticking to the newspaper it looked bloody good, maybe that's why it did it

Cheers mate, I might spray the black plastic inside the standard one at some point like Dino has got done.

the passat ones have an outta chrome ring which is good becaue it leaves a better overall finish/neater.

they make the car look so much better in colour
