the onlt bit that would annoy me, makes me look a bit autistic is the fact the sqaures down one side are smaller than on the other side, they would have to be same size all over if you get me, symetrical in other words lol

Im gonna paint the spoiler gloss black solid anyway :)

mirrors are done now in lambo black.

I have the cupra kit to go on too :)

I know the top isnt that even but i have this thing about doing everything myself, and considering it only cost me £30 to get the squares cut i think i did a pretty good job :)

cheers for comments guys :)

You go for all that excellent respray work in an excellent colour to cover it up with the automotive equivalent of a tramp stamp ??? :confused:

Don't do it!!


Sorry to P on anyone's chips about the roof checks, but as has been said....... OK for mini's if you must but not for a Leon. Soooo wrong! Also, with it not being central on that car it really looks like a home made bodge job. Worth a try but it don't work. Sorry to be harsh matey.

like i said, i cant see the pic.

the car i got my colour from (renault megane) has the chequered flag on the front panel of the car. so i thought it might be the equivalent...


ETA 1hr 28mins to confirm stupidity of what i almost got myself into!

I had the daylight lights on mine ages ago, but they were properly done by myself and smoothed into the foglight area.

but one fell off at the nurburgring so i left em off, bumpers get changed soon anyhow.
