The only problem with the wrap is it doesnt sit quite right in certain places, but i can probably work it out with a little patience

Well i havent posted in here for a while so thought i would give a little update.

The car is off the road at the moment, just SORN'd it this morning due to being out the country for 2 weeks and also because it needs two new tyres as i have bad camber issues at the moment.

I am looking at getting it resprayed as the paintwork is really shabby at the moment.

Will also be changing the audio and possibly the interior so watch this space :D

Let me know what kind of prices you get quoted for a full respray mate

I am seriously considering getting mine done this summer because its really showing its age now and being a black GTI every defect is visible :(

Same as mine although mine is silver.

I have budgeted around £1500 to have it done although it will be going a different colour just not sure what yet.

Yeah I was thinking around the £1500 mark too, some people say £3K for a top job but that means going right back down to the bare metal.

Got any colours in mind mate? I think i'll stick to black but I am a big fan of the anthracite grey they used on some of the Lupo GTI's

I too am considering a respray at the minute with the amount of swirls, rust spots and dents in my bodywork. I want it to be perfect so a respray may be my best bet.

Don't really feel like machine polishing will do it too much justice whenever I know it'll still have rust spots and the odd car door dent.

I just want a colour that is "wow" but not in your face.

Hard decisions :(

Lol
