It'll only be a different boot handle, I really hate the one it's got.

That'll be another mk5 golf handle being fitted then.

I like mine, it hasn't got one. I will have an external button inbetween my number plate lamps. Took me ages to work out how to get it to not work when the cars locked!

Nope, MK5 Golf handle's been done too many times already now (it does look the business though)

Either that or I might just get the retrim out the way, MAYBE get a respray then start saving for a new car.

Nearly ready to be sprayed, lots of work done over the weekend, a little spot of filler needed in one area, a couple more panels to prime, then a complete flat back before paint can be applied. Looking lots better now, all the arches meet the bumper perfectly now so all looks factory

Sorry bout the crappy phone pics.

So will be sprayed either wednesday or thursday, is gonna be sprayed in sold pure white for e38, that way i'll get it done in time! This way i'll also have a nice even coat to spray all the pearl white on to as well.

I currently have one white door shut, and the inside of the tailgate's been sprayed too. I just hope i can get it all done in time, i'm off to cornwall till tuesday now!

Cheers guys. One quarter, one door, both wings and the bonnet are all ready for paint. Just got one rear quarter and a door left to flat back. Hopefully get some paint laid down tommorrow, though i'm not holding my breath. Will be spraying the stripes on for e38, though not sure whether or not to do that for the pearl coat yet. So much to do and so little time, really am unsure if it'll be done or not yet, wish i'd pulled my fingure out sooner now, or at least just left it grey!

Well... Its white, but... I forgot to take pics, so you'll have to work till e38, or after if your not going!

We also ran out of paint, so the bumpers are gonna be a different shade of white as i only have ford diamond white left. Gotta paint the bumpers first thing tommorrow, along with empty all the crap out of the car, pack, and drive 250miles. Geez, cant wait!
