Really good to see that your working on the car. Top stuff, I really like what your up to. Keep up the good work :thumb:
Cheers dude, not allot of things left now on my short term list, but on the long term, still got to sort the FG boot/bonnet out, and plexi glass windows etc.

Did some little bits today.
First off i finished the custom filler cap off (use to be on my old GSi)
Put a few coats of lacquer on it.

Though it does seam more vivid in color...humm opinions please.
If I'm not sure i can either, paint the flush custom black and use it, or paint the alloy one black??

Also while a had a few spare minuets i decided to take the grill apart to repaint the slats, and add a badge Ive had for years.
Few coats of acrylic matt black did the trick!

While i was working on it i noticed some of the interlining ribs that hold the slats together were broken, my dad had the idea of using a soldering iron to melt it back together, we used this idea to also re-attach it to the main frame of the gril :D

I recommend anyone who needs to fix the grill to the frame do it this way.
Then the badge.

Opel grille looks smart!!
I like the smooth filler cap but colour match doesn't look right.
Yeah, I'm going to wait, as maybe a week on the car in the sun it might change, but if not then I'll paint it black/gray etc.Quote:

plastic always takes a different shade for some reason and id carbon fibre sheet the cap as the sticker weighs 0.000000g :thumb:
It's not plastic dude, it's steal. :p lol It's just the difference in color to bing fresh I'm guessing?Quote:
