The Mk2 was painted yesterday, Platinum Grey Metallic (from late-model Jetta and Audi TT)

I'll let the pictures do the talking...

It's getting sliced back, buffed up, and fitted up, and should be ready for pickup on Friday... WOOT!!!

Cheers!!!

Oh Matt, ur funny

small bumpered she was born, and small bumpered she will remain!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!!! Good spotting... The spoiler is now colour-coded, as is the hatch trim. Rear wiper and washer have been given the Gillette treatment, as well as the side indicator holes and the aerial hole. All the "stone-proof" textured surfaces have been smoothed, and all the holes for the arches and rubbing strips have mysteriously disappeared...

Almost the whole car was dismantled and stripped back to bare metal, then I counted 5 coats of primer, all hard-blocked back to get the panels razor straight. It's been a HUGE job, and taken almost 6 months, but it's coming along great...

Cheers!!!
