So dropped it off after the interior for a full detail and a little PPF. This is the last big item to be done and can sit back and enjoy it.

Thanks to Ryan for sorting this part:

What can I say. Big day as finally collected Beast2.0 from its final time away.

Big thanks to RyanDetails for getting it looking spot on. Full correction, PPF and ceramic coat.

I think my wife is more than a little happy with the final result.

Also just fitted the new mats + door seals from the dealers and number plate back on the front.

Huge thanks to all involved in returning Beast2.0 to its former glory with a little of my own touch thrown in:

Bespoke Leathering Ltd
FullhouseCustoms
Car Care Repair Midlands Limited
Midland VW
RyanDetails

It will be going in to KYCS for one last bit.

Cheers buddy. Very pleased with how it’s all turned out. However my OCD is still kicking in so might be ordering all new door seals (the ones round the actual door aperture this time) too soon and some new rear lights as although Ryan tried to machine them the best he could they aren’t quite there.

Brilliant Result

The inner rear lights on my 4.6 have never cleaned up well ( 2 attempts), and seem to dull down again quickly. I brought a new set of inner's but they have dulled down as well

I thought about an early E70 inner set but have never got around to trying them

Now relax and enjoy for awhile (just don't go around the back) :D :D

Superb, been following the thread, but would be interesting to see a couple of before you started photos (unless I’ve missed them) to show what a stunning job you have done.

We were allowed at the last one I went to. Hard to believe it was 8 years ago already! Held near Uxbridge.

I wonder how many are still owners and/or members? This was at Jason’s place - BW Chiptune. His crew did a mean BBQ for all of us :D

As my summers are not generally in the UK these days, my attendance options could be limited but if its doable count me in now.

Been following this thread from the beginning and have to say it’s impressive, as I need some paintwork done, not to this extent, much as I’d like but often thought about having the black plastic done but worry about how well it will take/stick, not peel off. Have you had any previous experience having this done that influenced your decision.
