Might I suggest Finnegan's Smoothrite; all the toughness, heat resistance and anti-corrosives of Hammerite, but in a smooth finish.

Not heard of that but cheers, I’ve got some high temp engine enamel paint which lots recommended so should look pretty smooth

Well, here's an independent testimony to the advantages and disadvantages.

Might have a shot of this myself.

They suit the car far better than I thought they might...   Nice choice! 

1900 miles in now I just can’t stop driving it

 

 

Great Job on the arches and the engine bay. New wheels also looks cool 🥰

Just read this all the way through. A lot of hard work but it must give you a lot of satisfaction to see it finished and as you wanted. Well done.

yes indeed I love knowing that no one can just go and buy the same car, obviously up gti you can but it’s still different  .

Still got lots I want to do but it’s 90% there.

And thanks for reading 👍🏼

Got a little build tag made, came out great 

Fitted a pro ram panel filter and a correct gti airbox as I didn’t have one having swapped for the forge gear a while back, 

Looks very stealthy. I must know does it... GLF?

Ah 😂 it’s alright depends what your used to, obviously rapid compared to the 60bhp original, but not as quick as my last 1.8t Fabia by any means. I think it will surprise a few things when it’s mapped

it never got completed by him, was brought by someone else then went to darkside developments who fitted a 2.0 16v diesel lump in 

Got a maxton front splitter and also another front bumper that was in far better condition then my old one, it still needs a repair at some point but will do fine for now.

 

My next things are get the brakes on, front bumper sprayed. And I’ve got some apr coil packs and new plugs to go in at some point too.

Fitted some new plugs and apr coil packs this morning, looks so good
