JamesU Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Clear front indicators im hoping, not a fan of the black ones that came with it.A bit of smoothing here and there.I was planning on taking the bump strips off, but i've had talks with my main man i like to call dad and we both reckon with the black bits on the classics it kinda looks alright and blends...Some panels need touching up too, two of them didn't even get laquered by the previous woman!Thanks for the comments everyone, means a lot!

JamesU Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Nope, dont think so.It was too badly damaged to recondition so they had to give me a new one...i can phone the garage and find out what they did with it if you still wanted?

JamesU Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Been wanting to do this for a while, so i grabbed a bit of faux suede, spray glue and my girlfriend and she did it for me haha! Her whole family is in love with making things and fabric so she asked...Anyway, here it is, not 100% perfect at all, but we spent aaaaages trying to get all the bubbles out and it wouldn't work...just mess it up a bit and it looks fine.Here are the pictures.Comments?James.

JamesU Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thats the car with the orangeness i saw which looked good, just a guess but are those GTi headlights yes?And the material is called Faux Suede...they do it in hobbycraft but i got mine from a different shop who actually know what they're on about...Its exactly a metre across so if you have more than that you can use the off-cuts for the rear pillars.And its just under 2 metres in length, so if you get that if not a bit more.Cheers for the comments, keep them all coming!
