I have not done much to the Jetta lately, just using up brakes, and trying to keep it clean. Razz

But, when I saw the new 2010 Wolfsburg grill, I had to order one!
Installing and pic's tomorrow! bounce

Bye Bye chrome mirror caps too! Twisted Evil

Got to finishing the pieces today. Overall, better than I though. I just hope the paint holds well and they last a bit.

I also did a pair of clear side markers I still had to replace the slightly tinted ones.

Time to wet sand and buff:

Got most of the orange peel smoothed out with the wet sanding. A few deeper crevasses that I didn't want to go after. Probably got something on them after the alcohol bathe on the way to the paint booth on the porch.

Oh no, their ruined!!! Evil or Very Mad

The buffer turned out to be no real help. To much to hold the piece, and work the buffer, so I reverted to the good old hand technique.

Revived to a nice shine!

The smiley came out so smooth, I only gave it a quick compounding and hand buffing. Still looks great!

Snapped it all back on, and snapped some quick pic's. =D> =D>

Now I just need to see how well it holds up to the rocks and stones in the aria! We will see. Very Happy
