ok, all 4 handles and door mouldings away for painting, number plate recess will be removed tonight and painted tomorrow as its a bumper off job, and due to the weather it just hasnt been ideal to get it removed.....

the bumpstrips are textured so the guy said a little more work is needed to smoothe them down so for everything im paying £25 painted skoda black magic metalic.....awesome price!!
