Well that's her back to her former glory!! I'll try and keep her like this for a little while longer this time!!
hoping for a dry day on Sunday now :smile:!!
Next update, finished a day early :smile:, he was just riveting the side skirt brackets on and I collect it at 4 tonight so 2 days to polish and check over before Sundays outing :up:
will put the obligatory completion photo up once the side skirt & Trophy sticker are back in place :hearteyes:
Well more progress, all straightened and being masked up ready for paint when I nipped in today..... Estimating Friday pm collection so looks like Sunday on track is going ahead as planned :)
More to follow.......

I'm up with Fraser and Arran mate, with ot being am Open Day and not sessions the weather isn't so much of an issue, as its a littlemore sensible.....
Cheers mate, all I can say is they are addictive and it took a lot of restraint to modify bit by bit, especially when everything was lying in a box ready to go !!
Good luck with yours and I look forward to watching your progress :up:
No no, I only did this one. When I bought the car, it had had the other one repaired. But my OCD side said it wasn't a good enough finish, so I got it re done..... Hate crap paint work!!
Lol yeah, its like the Trophy to be fair, the pictures make it look a lot worse than it does in the flesh, must be the reflections..... ! That's both quarters done on it now, didn't want the other one feeling special ;)
Well the Trophy finally made into the body shop today.... I nipped in after lunch to have a look at progress. I never managed to get a photo of the bottom cill lip before they trial fitted the skirt, but it is back to a 100 % perfect including the jacking point at the front. Anyway side skirt...
Perfect mate, i should have invested in some straight after the powder coat to silver as they suffered the same as the White, at least you caught yours in time :blush: :up:
Yep that's how i justified it in my mind and then couldn't be bothered painting it!! Lol started painting it, realised brush wasn't giving me the finish I wanted and then spent another few hours cleaning that off!! :D hope you have more patience than me
Yeah its good to push the car and have it free wheel again Andy ;)
I sometimes think that after I detail it then take it to the track to rag it round there, but as you say that's what it was built for.... Keep saying it though, best fun I've had in a car :)
Oh and just to piss me off on the big brake front, lol, my mate texts me these!!!
I suppose he does need the to stop his mk6 gold gti, as its just been upgraded to 390 bhp and 380+ ftlb of torque....
Big brakes do look good!! :)
This weekends update :)....
So after much deliberation, I opted to stay with standard brakes, not saying that the big brake upgrade won't happen, as I love the look of it, but the practical head says that the standard calipers lock the brakes at any given opportunity so for track, not really...
