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

Amazing Jake . Job well done
|
Nice job Jake,wonder how long that splitter will stay in one piece!
|
well judging from the condition it was in ie a million pieces not very long lol
|
i reckon it should stay in one piece for at least a lap of oulton, on a serious note i will have to higher the susp a bit i think,
|
what a cracking job mate :thumb:
|

picked my car up today and the finish is amazing, also his attention to detail was amazing too, the paint is like a mirror his price was very good aswel very genuine and helpful guy well done jake and thanks matey andy |
No probs mate glad it all worked out for us both. Don't forget no wax for another 4 weeks unless it's bodyshop safe then, after Christmas well have it back in for final polish and detail. Oh and well repair the spliiter once fitted lol ;)
|
Amazing work & a great thread!
|
Good effort all round! Roof vent? Ballsy guy! What sort of cost do you recon that would be as a one off?... I like your thinking!
|
the cutting took about an hour or two
|
hey mate can you tell me where you got or the make of the spltter
|
the splitter on the hawkeye is a charge speed splitter used to be carbon finish we donated it to andy damaged and jake made it all good again hope this helps
