So..
I jave a friend who owns a bodyshop who has booked a trade stand at cumbria vag show. And as a friend the option was there if I do all the prep work and stripping etc he wouldspray and advise me... I have zero bodywork lnowlege but the advise has been spot on and I am nearing completion :-) hopefully finished on tuesday/wednesday!

Looks like a top class job. No doubt we will see more pictures when it's finished and also from Cumbria VAG as there will probably be a few members there.

Looks very good and a great job we are know on our fourth mk 2 and we have know got a alpine white as these are easer to get touched up as the metallic models as the paint is over ten years old you have to paint the whole car to get it to match and we have had two metallic models but funny enough our first model was the same colour so gone back to original Scala i model.Is the colour Alpine white ?

OK I see.I don't hate you for it that's for sure. I'am very :-D for you.It all so keeps the mk 2 flag flaying as they only made two hundred and seventy five thousand worldwide.
