WOW ! that is looking very nice indeed ! Now the fun begins ! don't rush ! take your time and that car will be killer when itis done! Is it a billboard car??

Thanks Alex, unfortunately no billboards, but it is supposed to have an elastomeric front bumper. which I do not have.
I've been thinking of dechroming the front bumper and have it painted B5

I prefer them billboard delete, and....I know someone who has a B5 elastomeric bumper and he may part with it as well

Superb Roel! ...and may I say what a superb colour!

By the way Roel, what paint did you use in the end?

Looks like a super job fella
Hopefully see it in the flesh at the nats next season

Thanks guys for the kind words, but as you all know it's going to be a long journey from now on, hopefully I'll be finished for the nats.
We ended up using the metalplates next to the drivers seat, they were still all original color, as were a lot of other places, and had the colour mixed according to that.
Alex, I'll appreciate any info on that possible bumper that might be for sale
thanks again !
