Yes n/a td and 200tdi on n/s and 300tdi td5 and tdci on o/s
My zinc primer and fe-123, which is award winning rust converter, but expensive, arrived today.
These are to paint the front and rear bumpers/cross members
So today was the front bumper, heres some before shots, also showing the rusting areas
The fe123 applied on those rusty areas plus the ends of the chassis rails and inside the jacking point holes
Masked everything off
Zinc primer
Coat of black rustoleum
Where the rusty areas were
Some final pics

Said before and i'll say it again, cracking looking wagon, the transformation is outstanding. You should be extremely pleased with yourself. 
So I painted the rest of the wheels
Now for a bit of an unexpected update, I found these retrim kits for the seats, they only cost £54+vat so I was a bit sceptical so I only bought one to try. When it arrived I was amazed at what you get for the money
In the box is retrim pieces ready made for all three sections of the seat, full foam inserts to replace all the old stuff, various bits for attachment, spray glue and an instruction dvd
Ordered black to go with the black theme inside, first up the sort of wear on the existing seats
Removed the seat
Removed the squab
And the squab cover
Old foam,
Removed next to frame
New foam insert on
Then started on the headrest, removed cover
New cover on and stapled down to hold in place
Then screwed down the metal cover
Removed the foam and cover off the bottom cushion
New foam piece on
Cover on
Whole seat recovered
In the car
Quite impressed with this so ordered the other kits to do the rest of the seats

Hello mate,
Details on how you painted the wheels.
What sort of paint exactly and would it stand up to wear and tear of everday use and washing without peeling of?
Cheers.

That's what I have.
I guess il find out in time how durable it is, however I did get a small amount somewhere where I shouldn't on the tyre I tried rubbing it off right away and it didn't seem to budge, it almost stains it so hopefully should be fairly durable

Loving the seats. I did the same with mine and they make such a difference
