This is when i got it

I will have more photos up of bits and bobs i have been doing later on tonight i just thought i would get the topic up and running ready to add pictures..

Got the private plate pressed and put on:

gave the engine bay a quick clean: before:

after:

polished the manifold cover:

had a gander on ebay and found one of these which i thought would be a nice touch:

lowered the car about 20mm:

everytime i walk towards the car it screams lower me more but i went to the local asda and the speed bumps are huge !! i may just have to avoid asda haha

stay tuned for more ebay bits added

Looks lovely mate :) picking up my silver 6n2 GTI Monday

Cars looking sweet!!

This might sound stupid but any idea what mats they are ? i orderd some on ebay for my 6n2 and they were completely wrong !

Look like standard gti mats mate. Might be worth ordering some from VW. Might be a bit pricey mind.

yeah i pressume they are the standard ones but i think i am going to order some new ones mine are looking a little worn. may be dying the carpet aswell...

O and watch this space, just fetched some schmidt modernlines and i am getting my arches rolled at the weekend

Updates-

Schmidt modernlines 15*8j

Lowered the car more and now i am rubbing :( but i have booked in to get the arches done. mega happy with the alloys !

More Updates and pictures to come

loving the Schmidts. how come its rubbin? looks like theres plenty of room.

Get some 185/45's on them and arch work and you shouldnt rub anymore! Untill you start running ti stupid low.

Arch work i done !!! they do not rub any more :) !!.

thats the good news, the bad news is my front coilover has seized so now iv got to rip it out and do my best to get it to wind down.

I AM DETERMINED TO GET IT LOW !!! and no seized coilover will stop me !

new toy

hoping to get this used to remove swirl marks and get it ready for Elsecar. fingers crossed suspension is sorted by then .

Let us know how this goes to get the swirl martks out?

Also what products are you using to get them out. I haver a black 6n2 and the swirl marks piss me off!!

After doing some research.. if the swirl marks are only light then i will be using a softer pad on the dual action polisher with dodo juice lime prime which is a pre cleanser but is slightly abrasive meaning it will take a really thin layer off which may be enough to get rid of them. if not then i will use the menzerna stuff that came with the polisher and use a medium grade pad. i will post some before and afters up.

Update.: TT Pedals and BMC CDA
