Ratspeed :wheres the scmooove boot and rear bumper dude?
Smooth boot, rear/front bumper are in my shed, awaiting the bodyshop. Front bumper needs smoothing and painted. Rear bumper I may start again or just buy another Mk4 bumper and let the experts do it, and smooth boot has a small ding in it and colour is abit rough, so getting that sprayed too. Want everything looking perfect on this car.

Look up 'PDR' and see who's local to you, make sure they have some pics of thier work. You should be able to cut them a deal to; tell them where the dents are and ask what might need to be done to get to the back of the panel, like removing arch liners etc. Most of the time they don't need to remove much but if you can do bits and pieces for them it might make it cheaper. Also, even if they come to you, offer to take the car to them. I got an entire side (all 4 panels and 3 rather tricky dents) of my old BMW done for £60, which I thought was good seeing as they normally charge about £50 per panel.

Yeah sure mate, I'm trying to find a local bloke now. The passenger door is the worst for dents, drivers door is ok, only like 4 dings in it. But need it done!

First panel £68 +VAT (£79.90 inc).
Subsequent panels £44 +VAT (£51.70)
I reckon I can find cheaper...

imo 60 is a bit to much, 40/50mm would have been nicer, though saying that I have no idea what roads are like where you are!!! all I know is they're s**t here!

Thanks Ratspeed!
Heres the pics you've been waiting for:



Looks better in person. To be honest I want it lower... It still looks abit to high for me... This is only temp until I can find decent coilovers though.
Wired up my mates sub and amp to the box:

Thanks to Tom for helping me!
