@ around easter im hoping to get a full respray on the DUB in the same colour.

However theres a couple of things im planning.

1. Louvres in the wing

2. Flush the wiper and badge off

But... i am in debate about these ones

3. Colour coding the bottom part of the rear bumper. (I currently have a tow hook sticking through mine so i would either get a new bumper and have it left, or have mine fixed and colour coded) Not sure???

4. Remove side skirts (As one is cracked and the other is scuffed) Shall i keep them on and buy some new ones, or get rid?

I need to start thinking about this as i will have to source some "new" parts.

Thanks. Jk.

I would remove side skirts.... Only trouble is you are never sure what bad things lurk behind 'em.

Not sure what you mean by your rear bumper.... I know you are asking about coulour coding the bottom of it but you say it has a towing hook ? For towing caravans ? Or for towing another car ?

Removing the side skirts is not going to be a problem as the whole car is being resprayed. As for the tow hook, it was on the car when i bought it, and it comes through the bottom part of the rear bumper and would therefore leave a hole.

Do you need the towe eye ?

If not then I suggest a new bumper and smooth the lower end like you want.... If however you need to towe then I suggest leaving it as it is and not smoothing the lower part as with a big tow bar in the middle it will be money wasted IMO. :-)

Also when you get the rear hatch debadged etc... Make sure they PLATE it over and not fill it as it will sink ;-)

Most places just say filling will be fine as it's only an indent and not a hole but trust me, it will sink ;-)

I personally like the cars with the skirts off, but only do it if your sills aint been jacked up or bent, looking back i would have left mine on if i knew how badly bent and bowed my sills were.

ONLY repair for this is new outer sills and i smoothed the line along the length of the sill too
