you sure you stripped it back enough!! looks nice, i live seeing a car going to pait, the hard work is over then, put ing it back together is the fun bit:)
 
Now comes the fun bit 8)

If you dont mind me saying, ring who ever is doing the work up quick and get em to remove the front bulge where the vw logo goes, it will be worth it :wink:
 
yeah you're right, had a look at some other pics and look v nice w/o the bulge. How easy is it to remove the bulge?
I think they may have already fnished prepping the front so I may not be too popular!
 
Easy to do dood, just cut it out and weld in a plate. It is worth it otherwise it may niggle you in the future 8)
 
I just got mine back from paint. It's a great feeling when it's done.

I agree with the point about the front panel. It makes it obvious it has had a repair.
 
Reminds me of this :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
