if you have patience, then do it
i did my last one in my mates garage during a bbq
few lads round, few beers, got down with the 600grit and started!

daa709, i did my own mate, so it is do able, but you need to be careful, or you can spoil the surface by adding grooves in the plastic from sanding
it does take time though, i starter lightly with 600 grit working finer each time, finishing on 2000 used wet, just before painting

Hey, it's looking great. Good job!
I changed the headlights for the black GTi ones and I thought they looked great on my Oly Blue.
Colour coding on side skirts?
Something to consider for the future maybe?
What's the red sticker on the OS rear window?
Keep up the good work!
