hello, as some of you may know i have recently purchased a new gti as my beloved white one was destroyed by a w*nker of a lorry driver.i dont have any pictures of it beforehand, i wish i had, but it was terrible, every pannel was scratched, it had rear lexus lights, a rear boot spolier straight from max powers bellend range, some naff vulgar wheels from wheel mania that he paid 600 quid for and curbed to fook. plus general unlovedness
mechanically its.....miles better than the original state of my white gti, just needed all four of its snapped bleed nipples replacing (one rear to go). anyways. i took a gloss roller and a tin of blackboard paint to it last night and i was.....impressed here are a few poor quality photos, see what you think.
i didnt clean/prime/mask and the finish is.....suprisingly good, almost perfectly smooth, just gave the original paint a quick rub to key it

i think the matt black looks ok but wonder if it would stand closer inspection?) 
.rear beam new throttle cable, new battery. .......... yeah man, team money pit! but shes still rollin!
the lights have grown on me. Despite the boy racerishness they weigh less than oem and........i like em. Didnt realise a new set cost 150-200. Im going for the whole rat rod thing like my old 1.4. Was a lot cheaper, plus dirt hides dents
