Painted the 16V kit but decided to keep it flat black cause, well its a lot of work...looks a hell of a lot better than before! Now the car just looks rediculously low...time to coil it back up a tad...

There are still a few other things to add like the caps that cover the bolt holes and the strip that goes at the base of the doors, but i ran out of paint, and i was running out of time today...today was practice with the gavity feed sprayer and new air compressor
