sorry I shouldn't laugh but that sounds like one of my Bad days!I may have all the best intentions in the world but for some reason it all goes to pot! Walk away take a breather and go back to it can the bumper not be plastic welded? and patched repainted? also I'm betting your mate that painted the car can sort the minor scuffs as with the Wheels the company that did them can sort it! but I'd hang on for the paint jobs until your 99% there and make sure there's not more to patch by the end, 1st see if the bumper can be saved! as said your nearly there!!! on an insane project I'd personally love to be able to undertake! Keep at it Lad! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Can't beat getting touched up!!It's not bad going really to get all that done and just have the few feck ups! Always happens, I got my 6 all proper sorted then a couple of weeks later smashed the wheel and suspension. Same with the St mondeo, spent well over a grand on brand new wheels and PS3 tyres then days later smashed one on a huge pothole. Don't know why it happens, my dad got his dents sorted on his car then backed into somthing and smashed the boot in Not just you its just what seems to happen to everyone, drive a shed and nothing happens, and when it does you don't care! ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Looks so nice What strut brace is that you have installed? Also how much roughly was your gearbox rebuild with the upgraded gears? Thanks ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

The strut brace is from France and was from a lhd but then got cut and re welded to fit a rhd!The gear set was 900 iirc then the bill from miles was around 300 but that was including powdercoating the casing at £80 |

Iv had that strut brace for about 7 years and never seen another like it, probably easier getting one made! Regarding the gear set I would assume it would be cheaper to use them instead of the Labour and hassle trying to get a different box to fit and have the right ratios |

Just don't want it to fall off so might try and bolt it as well as it doesn't have much material on the spoiler to bond it too |
