Update..

The IRS parts arrived back from the media blasters last week. The parts were grit blasted which I found to be a bit harsh but for these type of parts it was fine.

The trailing arms were done at the same time and unfortunately the inner sections were slightly 'blasted'. I have managed to repolish them back up so should be fine.

I gave all the parts a light coating of etch primer to cover up the bare metal. Once the car is reasy for final assembly they will go off to be powder coated black.

At stanford hall VW show last weekend we picked up our custom rear valence that Joe and the guys at Autocraft had made for us! It has a 2" centre section for the header and is only single skinned at the rear. On the rear the top 'seal section' will be removed as its not needed.

I've now sprayed it with primer to protect the metal as it was supplied as you can see, bare metal.
