The red on the wheels isn't doing it for me personally, but the car has been brought back to life. Looking great.  :congrats:

Need some more up close pics of your wizardry, but that looks in great nick! Top work fella, can I ask if you re-sprayed the whole car or just the front section?  And while you were at it did you get the rear bumper sprayed up?

I dont know, I guess (and correct me if im wrong guv) but you have tried to carry through the red GTI line from the front grill, and I bet non of you think the blue and red dont go together there  :wink:

Keep it up  :drinking:

I have to plough in as well and say I'm not a fan of the red stuff. I have done away with the red on my grille and calipers and gone with silver instead. Other than that, it looks ace.
I personally would have gone with either silver or blue accents on your car, however it is yours and therefore up to you.  :happy2:

You've made an excellent job on the repair, it looks good as new!  :congrats:
