      i must have missed this thread before somehow
      fantastic work

      I'd have had a go at some of my scabby bits if my car wasn't metallic, I'm just scared of going anywhere near it

          Thanks. Its all in the prep, metallic is not that hard but not probably what you want to start with..

            awesome Darren, i've seen the car in the flesh and the effort thats been put in and i can confirm this is one fantastic example of a fettled with quattro. The attention to detail is staggering - can't wait to see it out the booth and back on the road

              Thanks David, i am looking forward to it to...

              I said to my other half i am looking forward to taking it to places as opposed to constantly working on it...

                    Thats deep Darren, as you say white is a ****** to get any depth of shine so does demonstrate effort = reward

                        take it out for some pictures early morning or fading light/sunset and it will really inject the colour into the paint. should work as well for an alpine white car as it does for a pearlescent one

                              Nice work DJones!

                              It reminds me of the work Jaap did with his White UrQ. In every detail he spend months to make the car perfect.
