Well owned the car nearly a week and not had any real time to get the detailing products out... so thought Kermit deserved a treat...

Snow foam...

Then a nice wash and a quick polish with some poorboys ss2 to get rid of the few annoying marks before a nice coat a radiant wax...

Looking good mate!

Love the colour!!

Are you planning on keeping the bump strips black, colour coding or maybe smoothing them out?

Stubby mirror would also look good IMO. There is a guy on here sells them on ebay. He gave me discount when I bought it through here and not ebay because he didnt have to pay the ebay fees.

Hope it all goes well for you!

Definite lows needed though!!!!!

Looks hella tidy!

Not sure yet on rub strips mate...

Whats this studdy mirror...? It has a smaller mirror on the passenger side already from what i been told thats standard... ?? :?

Yes needs to be low just wanna buy the right coilovers tho... nothing cheap going on this car...!

Personally I'd leave all the black on it. Nice contrast. If they are colour coded to much green. If they are smoothed off just looks to plain.

Yea i was thinking along those lines it does help break up the colour...

Well the modding has begun... just won a set on fog lights on ebay.. now its just to get the surrounds...

Stubby mirror is the same size as the passenger one, just on the driver side. Makes it look a bit more even. Some models have them as standard, some don't!

Well now owned the car for a couple of weeks it was time to get the wheels off and give it a real once over to make sure all is ok... :)

On my list was to give the chassis a good blast of waxoil so all the little nocks and crannies are now coverd in it...

Also i wanted to clean up the grubby door hinges and take the rear lights out for a clean...

Next on the list is to fit the fogs and parcel shelf... Then to find a GTI grill, sideskirts, spoiler and splitter... so if anyone has any of these for sale please let me know...

Cheers

eBay, they will need spraying obviously. Or you could get one from a scrappy or someone on here selling one!
