My car has been in the bodyshop for the past couple of days and I'm getting it back tomorrow lunchtime - time has dragged sooo slowly!

It's been having the following done:

- A front end respray to get rid of some stone chips, swirls & scratches that were on it when I bought it in February this year
- Some buffing & polishing done on the roof to get rid of some scratches that were there also
- Middle section of the front splitter painted gloss black
- Middle section of the rear valance painted gloss black.

I'll post up some pics - hopefully tomorrow if the weather clears up a bit :smiley:

Got the car back today from the paintshop and I'm really happy with the results :happy2:

I think the gloss black detail at the front and back really adds something to the car!

They also did a great job of respraying my bonnet and wings as well as polishing out a few other wee annoying bits and pieces.

Getting the same bits painted on mine soon, what black did you go for as I have been given a lot of options, also deciding whether to get the wing mirrors done black at the same time.


I just told the place I wanted gloss black - didn't specify a VW colour or anything.

Billy where did you get your paint work done, I'm in Glasgow and I'm finding it hard getting somewhere I trust, thanks.

Glenfarg Motors in Glenfarg Street, up behind St Georges Cross.

I've been using them for a good few years. It's a small garage but the guy John who owns it knows his stuff I think and I've always been happy with their work and their prices.

They fit perfectly. No issues. They even come with tape cut to the exact size.
