Cool, if you need any advice feel free to PM me. For those that haven't noticed the little things that got done, they are:

Anthracite Mirror Caps
The B-Pillars now painted gloss black
Colour Coded New Centre Caps
Colour Coded Rear VW Badge
Bonnet Bra
Painted Splitter

And I've had a few small scratches polished out, as well as resprayed the tailgate to remove the bubbles on the spoiler

Well people say bad things come in 3s.. All this week..

Firstly battery went on the car as soon as I got it back. 70 quid bye bye when I'm trying to save for holidays now.

2nd Rejected for a summer internship that I really wanted to get

3rd - 4 days after picking the car freshly up from bodyshop.. Guess what happens? Some careless driver decides to scratch my back bumper!

And on another note.. back badge fell off accidentally at the meet.
Pictures to come..

Loving the car. Keep up the good work.

Totally gutted for you as the last thing you want is to take the car back into the bodyshop to get the bumper re-done.

Just a quick question, did you get the bumpers plastic welded or fibre glassed?

Mine were fibre-glassed. The bodyshop that I used had done my old car, and the bumpers are still looking mint after more than a year
