Car should be back on saturday morning so i'll get pictures of it completed on sunday because I won't be in until then.
Just needs the mirrors, jacking point covers and the rear wiper arm on etc....
Got some brakes for it so they should be here in the next few days, but before that all the interior has to go back in.....well minus the rear seats of course.

scouse-sambo :What was the black stuff the bodyshop used to smooth the arches in with?
Its U-POL SMC flexible filler, its some sort of mixture of a special glass fibre I think, its so it doesnt flex and crack when I hit huge potholes!

Looks great. I have smoothed arches and skirts too and now regret it because i have 2 cracks where the arch meets front bumper
Think im going to take them off and put them back on - not smoothed this time!

God I haven't updated this in a while! New username as I have forgotten all my passwords etc....
Thought some of you may be interested in the cars current state of readiness...or not for that matter.
I'll let the pics do the talking in the next few posts then write a new spec list. They are not in any order and contain quite a varied picture of the cars current spec. Hope you like it.

wow impressive stuff there!
can see your bit of a mk5 zs fan the way you have smoothed the arches in and the colour choice, and obviously the stickers
