    Not yet Andy... Reese (Paint Sprayer) is dragging his heels slightly but it's giving me time to price up getting the roof done in Black. I will try and get a quote today or tomorrow and see if I can get it done before the spoiler is fitted

    Well things are finally moving again.... I had a set of Spare Pegs Lying around and have decided to have them re-furbed in Satin Black to give the Car a more 'Sporty' look.

    As you can see from the Pic yesterday the Spoiler still isn't done, I have booked the car in today to have the Roof Sprayed Black so the Spoiler can be fitted.

    Everything should be ready by next Friday the 6th of December as I've got to go to my brothers Wedding in Shropshire on the 7th.



    Two of the wheels are nearly done... I'm not sure if they should be Satin or Gloss?

    gloss , unless you can put some sort of coating on that will be ok for brake dump and the like they might get affected pretty quickly.

    I will not have the Car for 2 weeks now whilst all the work is being done... I don't normally post any mechanical work that I have done as it would make the thread to long and boring....

    A New Rad is being fitted tomorrow £237 from Volvo along with the MOT... It's going to be an expensive 2 weeks with the Spray work and Alloy re-furb.



    A lot of packaging for something so small...

    Cheers Marty I know not everyone likes it but at least I'm enjoying myself lol... That's why I chose VPC as I felt it gave me freedom to experiment

    I've been at the Garage most of the day Prepping the Roof and Roof bars, to Speed the Job up abit... It's coming along nicely

    18's are finished... Satin Black



    Roof Rails Off...



    Getting Prepped...



    Finally Covered...



    4th Coat of Black....



    Finished....



    Nice Shine....



    18's With New Tyres, Waiting to be Fitted...



    So it's been a busy day, Hopefully tomorrow the Spoiler and Roof Rails will be done so by Friday it should be ready
