    2004 VW R32 - The White One
    06-29-2012 09:08 PM #1
    Took the R32 back to Jeff Campbell for some paint and body work (cracked my bumper). Haven't posted pictures any pics in a long time so took some shots and thought everyone might like to see them. Sorry for being a crappy photographer and an even worse editor. Would love to get some more professional shots some day.

    I think you're nuts. I can assure you everything matches perfectly. I don't see an issue in the pics either, except the ones your quoted have a bit of shadow, and the pic was edited to increase shadow. I thought it looked cool making the white really pop.

    X2 Paintwork is spot on. Jeff wouldn't have let it out of the booth if it wasn't perfect.

    Exactly. Even after five years, everyone knows the car as Jeff's. I knew he would make sure it was right.

    Nope. No worries. Jeff had the paint retouched before I bought it. Perhaps it was fixed then. There a few small rock chips that are no worse than any other car that's been on the road for a few years and they've been touched up but you can still see if you're looking for them. Besides that the paint is 100% flawless, top to bottom, body and plastics.

    Even the interior is still 100% mint. I've worn down the driver's side floor mat under the gas pedal but it will be replaced soon. For those that didn't know, it has black leather seats from a GTI. Much more classy than the stock .:R stuff, IMHO.
