The results!

I tried to recreate the angles to show the before and after.  So that leaves the wheels. Now I know that the purists will proba...

Now the underside.

The tin of Tetroseal I bought was reasonably large, so might as well use it to rust proof the entire underside.
Hope the black seal will trick the MOT guy next year.
 Still not satisfied that the Tetroseal would adequately protect my Felly, I went to https://www.skoda-parts.com/online-store.html again and bought some wheel arch covers and a set of fender flares.


Don't use NO-NAILS!
First I tried to stick the flares on with unbranded No-Nails, because I'm a dumbass.
So two days later one fell off and I had to spend an entire day cleaning them and sticking them on with black mastic.

Trying to continue that black body line.
 I sanded and sprayed the bottom sills with black manifold paint, why? because it was the cheapest and only black can I could get.
But it looks quite good.

Had a bit of paint left so I removed the back badges and painted them.

One last polish (Yes, I know this is a buffing pad, but where in this blog did I ever give you the impression that I knew what I was doing?)

Giving it one last clean and wax.
I sanded the letters to make them stand out.


That's water, not oil.
