To be fair to Mike, Pac I don't think its gonna increase/decrease the value that much and like the man said he is going to take it drifting and get loads of fun out of it.

You can't say it was perfect before, especially as Mike had to replace loads of dented panels for straight ones!

One thing I would say though Mike is getting that bonnet adjusted, not quite sitting flush mate
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I replaced the boot lid, which was red, the bonnet was red, one wing was grey and one was white.

so that would mean driving around in 4 different colours which would of looked even worst lol

I like the Satin paint and was the chepaest option to go for to get something done ASAP, plus i wanted a murdered out ride for a while during the summer.

It works for me :D

I know everyone on here likes shiney paint etc, i do too, but I like being different and being n eyesore lol

Yes g!

Get summer out the way and get all the goodies bought for it then will get the paint plans set in stone!

May as well keep it murdered for summer, its a fresh look that some people still like and it will only get damaged and wrecked on track days lol

The VAGmeet at pride is awesome!! I have been a few times, i parked up in my rat escort right in the middle of everyone with a VW badge stuck on the front lol

My number is 07584221414

Maybe we should get a topic posted up, get everyone involved and have a big derby pride park meet, get all parked up together, get a few photos,

There is loads of inspiration from the VAG attendee's too, great for getting new ideas etc

Your rear lights stand out big time, lightly smoke possible?

Front end smoked so needs something to blend in

matt black is a very sore subject for most

With regard to the above comment, you might want to try this stuff...

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=118300

There are a couple of different levels of 'smoked-ness' available and it's pretty good stuff plus cheap! I used it on the headlights of my old E30 and it worked a treat! Would look great on the rears of this car...
