cheers for the comments peeps! all the work is being undertaken by myself and a very good friend of mine and i reckon we are doing really well considering it my first time i have done nething to do with bodywork (my m8 has only done it once before!)

today, we rubbed down all the filler and then put another layer of filler on and then we had to call it a day there as i had to go to work!

but we'll be back out there tomo carrying on with the work...plans for tomo are sand down the filler again, and sand down the rest of the car, put new wings on, and get as much primer on as we can :)

if everything goes to plan, the car should be painted by next weekend :D :D

the colour will be staying the same, a nice deep black will suit the car really well i think...but if possible, i may try to ask the painter if he would do a deep black with gold metal flakes in there...now that would look great!

the back of the car will be de-baged but i might get SCIROCCO written in that silver lettering

i was thinking of going for a bee-sting but still undecided on that?...what do u reckon?

[ERRR] wayz, pics of today:
