Good way to spend the bank holiday weekend! I ended up being nagged into sanding and painting the decking :
Is it the same shade? It looks more orangey in some pics. Have you painted the standard spoiler black too? I have a spare black one so if the look takes off it's free to a good home

cheers for the comments fellas... and after that 5 day outburst im still shattered. Grills going to be painted this saturday or one dinner time when i get chance. and its getting a flat and polish this weekend. Even more busyness bleh. oh and yeah its the same colour 22g, but tbh it was purchased from supertune, so the mix could be anything from light to dark lol. I still have about a ltr left just in case.

Im happy with it just cant wait to get my coilovers and wheels on this now

Oh and yeah, its a black roof with a black spolier, looks well tbh. I didnt want to go down the route of STI rep. So kept it smooth

Top job fella

Thanks fellas Nothing better than putting in some graft and standing back and enjoying the results and getting goood feedback

Just been outside and spent the last 30 mins fitting some front speakers and giving it a wipe down. Filler dust everywhere lol.

Genuinely love that fella.

I thought I was a hero for refurbing my 205 GTi wheels a few months ago by sanding and preping them in my bathroom whilst spraying in my high tech Argos shed. Funnily enough the Mrs didn't appreciate my efforts so much
