Now been dewrapped to have some bodywork done, slam lock removed, side mouldings removed and smoothed and few little dents sorted, then all repairs repainted.
Front bumper being made to fit better
New GTi 8 rear hybrid bumper being made.
Then off for a new lairy wrap, Honestly at this point I wish I just paid a bit more and got it completely resprayed. Live and learn!! Next time!

Wow that's a beauty AND the beast in the same package! What on earth are those headlights? I've been thinking about getting rid of those side trims but it's just so much work :|

Hahaha certainly is at the moment!! The headlights were custom made from a company I found on Instagram. And still cheaper than OEM xenons! The colour changing LEDs definitely make them for me.
Iv been thinking about getting the side mouldings smoothed for so long now so I thought being in the bodyshop for so much else now is the time!
