the door handles are back in now too, one thing to note, blob arch liners are different to hawk too...bugger haha

rear bumper was a bit of a mess so had to repair that, but its now painted along with the skirts so should be finished hopefully for the middle of next week,

fitted the square boot lock to mine too

Fitted a boot lock, surely you should have taken the opportunity to smooth it off

Coming together nicely

Didn't want it smoothed off mate. Wanted it to look as factory as poss
Fitting my factory decals after machine polish and arch extensions and front splitter

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

Fair enough, but I bet it'll be finished a hell of a lot better than when it came out of the factory - I know mine is now it's back

Hope so mate, I have told Jake I want it like a mirror , this didn't phase him atall. I am sure it will be a good finish mate. Even all factory clips are being used

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

Looking at his bug I don't think the mirror finish will be an issue

I got all my black trim resprayed in gloss too, it really set it off a treat, just need to start applying liberal amounts of back to black on the rubbers to get them looking as clean
