I wasn't going to post any pics on the web, but I couldn't help myself as I am over the moon with the results.

If all goes to plan I am going:

Ultimate Dubs
GTI International
VW summer festival - Uttoxeter
VW Festival - Harewood House
GTI Festival - Santa Pod
Edition 38

Although I am not sure which ones I will get on a stand for as the interior is a right state /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif
 
It's really making me think about my car, as mine is Volcano Black, which is like the /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif child of Dolphin Grey and Metallic Black.

REALLY like your colour but I also want your wheels and I can't copy.

Might have to make mine pink /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Oh, quick question, where did you get your grille? Is it easy fit?
 
Superb choice mate!!!

I think you will also find her a little quicker off the mark now shes coated in the fastest colour!
 
****** hell! that must be like having a brand new car! well done Mark - a wicked choice of colour, and sets those wheels off beautifully! Looks shweeet! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Rob /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Alright Mark, you are officially MAD!, but a good result loking at the pics, how many reprays has your car had now?, I make it 3 so far! Goodwork though bud, and hope to see it soon. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

As you say no copying LOL I'm the same always have to do things differently.

Grill is an FK jobbie, and to be honest it's a pig to fit if it's anything like mine as it was the wrong size. Had to file bits off it to fit.

Why thankyou my fellow Dolphin Grey friend. Yeah it is quicker anyway as it got bare metalled which removed about 12 layers of paint /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif


[ QUOTE ]
Sweet job Mark /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif, luv the colour, looks real nice from the front, maybe some chromies???

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a fan of chromies TBH, but I am thinking about changing the wheel colour.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mad me? No /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif Yeah 3 re-sprays now, but touch wood this is the final one.
 
Stunning transformation Mark!
Did you have the inside painted too or just the door checks etc?
And are you hiding a new set of rear lights?!!!
 
Looks fantastic!
How much does a respray of that quality cost?
 
looking sweeet


btw have u cleaned that air filter recently ????
 
Mark Beautiful Colour, Beautiful Car...BTW just how much was the BMW mod? Or was the vandalism unchangeable?

sweet.jpg



/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif

No really, the car is lovely - BMW jokes aside. Very nice, way better than the yellow!
 
looks nice mate!
shame to lose a fellow banana'er
 
Really impressive stuff Mark! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
 
I like being kinda right every now and again... looks good Mark! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Thanks for making my yellow audi that little bit rarer! So are there smoked lights hiding on the rear?
 
sweet, you no how to keep things quite, i now no why you where asking me bout other things now, im sure there still plenty to come
 
Very, very nice job Mark.

I think you've got it spot on - not 'in your face' at all, and certainly unique.

Take all the appluase, you deserve it!!!

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bravo.gif

Pics please of the rear please!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah door shuts, boot surround and the innner edges of the wings have been done. Although I've still got a yellow engine bay /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

No rear smoked rear lights mate. As I say I was asking about them for a friend.

Don't really want to go into details about prices as there is long story behind it all, but in the end it's all worked out.

No going to have it off and clean it A.S.A.P

Thank you I am really pleased with it and think I made the right choice about changing the colour.

Thank you sir. Yes you were right, but not about the lights.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks mate you should know by now that I like to keep things quite and just do it. Yeah that's why I was asking about them other bits.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif I like it when others appreciate how much work has gone into it.

Sorry no pics of the rear for now as it looks too high.
 
Looks good dude. You planning to blend into the other grey "rep" cars in the car park now! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Please please tell me they sprayed the engine bay as well tho. The worst thing is a two tone car when you open the bonnet! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

Bumper looks alot better with the recess smoothed. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif

Yeah it certainly blends in with the other cars now as I got asked whether I came in my car at work.

I will have to disappoint you, but no it didn't get sprayed under the bonnet. TBH to do it properly it would be an engine out job, and for the time being it’s been off the road for too long already.

Yeah the bumper is a lot better now IMO

No worries, just get it done when you fit the phat turbo! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Keep ya bonnet closed at shows tho.

Yeah that was the idea to keep it firmly closed at shows /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
 
Wow mark..Its looking really good!! I personally think that the shiny 4 rings would look good back up on the front now, but each to their own. Makes th wheels look v shiny! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Markb,

Have to agree with everyone, your car now looks stunning , especially on the BBS CH wheels.
Also agree with Rich, i think it needs the 4 rings back on the grille for some contrast...it looks a bit toothless otherwise to me! How about doing the ess_three genuine RS6 brushed matt aluminium mirrors...i always like dolphin S3s with those on...its a great but subtle contrasting setup i think.

Keep up the inspiring modding...
