New screen fitted to replace the bullet holed one fitted, 

Also reprinted the back bumper and tailgate, finally happy with the match,

Basically I had to do around 5 spray out cards all with the same shade, with varying coats and also removing a orange tinter, in the end it took a white ground coat then seven yellow coats lol

Where did you buy the screen? Mine needs a new screen but last time I got one the company used non genuine glass and it easily got scratched.

[cuprajake]

The local glass guy we use at work. It's Pilkington nap fingers crossed it's ok. I have the rain sensor so it was more expensive lol.

[Tfsi_Mike]

May I ask how much? I've retro fitted the auto dimming mirror so could potentially get the screen with the sensor and retro fit the required bits to make it work.

[cuprajake]

The glass was £140plus vat. But that's a trade price, then there's fitting on top.

You get the sensor bracket on the glass but you need the jelly piece that sticks to the glass this is about £15 from seat.

The glass is fault less no imperfections or wobbles in it.

With the car having a new screen I decided to seal all the glass with a product called gtechnik or something. Tbh smells just like rain x but dearer, meant to last over 12months though so well see.

I was going to machine polish n wax the car but decided not to bother as I was on the minutes and it started to snow hahaha

Next week all the suspension components will be don't then I'm hoping the tiny rattle I have will go. Failing that it's a new wheel bearing.
