I'll ask Rich for some more details on the paint that was used

The arches on the rear look so factory tho lol shame to roll them lol

The fronts deffo need doing, but I might see if anything can be done to give just a few mill on the rear with a standard beam in

what about getting the wheel hubs milled by a few mm to give the clearence

I'll have a look at that cheers

Think there might be something that can be done on the rear, wheel, drum or the stub axle plate on the beam can have 2/3mm taken off

Forsale thread now deleted, cheers Hobbit :)

Having a std arch lip is way way way over rated. Clearace for the win.

Edd, I am sure I gave you a paint sample with the car, would be with all the paperwork.
Its a piece of very thin metal which is painted one side and has the manufacturer and other details written on the back.
Its not ICI or the other one mentioned by Nick but it is a well known paint manufacturer. Ade was not working for VW at the time, it was a general bodyshop chain from the North West but I cannot remember the name.

I'll have a look when I get home in a bit, if I have it will be in the envolope you gave me

Bit of a update-

I managed to speak to Ade Culley yesterday, who painted the shell, he told me in detail what was used so I can pass the info on to my mate who's going to the paint work

I also spoke to Matt ( chap with the bodyshop ) about rolling the front arches, he said he had a tool to do them with :)

So, polished wheels are staying :d trip to the bodyshop in 6/7 weeks (got to get mot before that tho :( ) and I might yet make Billing in it :)

Top work as ever Edd, really coming along well :thumb: your patience and attention to detail is spot on...I can't get my head round how you are ashamed of how 'dirty' it is...looks clean as fook to me lol :)

Cheers Rich

I think that's the first time in 33 years that anyone has said I have patience lol

The sides are really dirty, I used Autogylm Bumper Care on the seals when I put the glass in, thought it might act as a lube lol did a bit but went all over the glass lol

Awesome dude, get the mot done, then even if you cant get the wheels on you can make Billing.

You use the orange ones off ebay? I just got some off of rallydesign, and they're a lot more 'rubbery' than the ones I had before off ebay, much closer to the standard ones but obviously stronger, shouldn't have too much vibration to them I would have thought!

Got them out the packet and thought of you x lol

Actually that's a lie it took me ages to find out who was complaining about exhaust polybushes, thought it was Iain!
