Absolutely stunning mate, the pictures just don't do it justice, people will have to see it in the flesh to appreciate the job!!

Next on the to do list is the front bumper which i need to repair a couple of small cracks (bit of mis judgement in the garage while parking )and going to do another bonnet and swop them over now and again,getting a standard mk4 bonnet (no vents ) and using my donar saff 4x4 bonnet will graft these vents in to it ,doing it so they bolt in to the bonnet and follow the contours ,should look pretty cool ,lot of work though lol,keeping the carbon one ,just want to change the lookof the car now and then.

That's obsesively clean
Gary was round mine yesterday and said that he'd seen it being built up in the flesh. Have to agree the attention to detail is outstanding

Oh and Gary wouldn't stop pestering me about going for a S2 Dash
