not posted on her for a while, not much has been going on :( havnt got the money to do all the things i would like to so the polo is sat in the garage until i can afford some stuff:(

i felt sorry for it so i decided to tackle all the general random scratches, some were pretty bad. came out amazing! i used some g3 professional scratch remover amd i HIGHLY recommend it

i didnt take any pics because they was just random scratches around the car,

the door sills and under the handes were coverd in tiny scuffs but now looks brand new :)

then i debaddged the back and also removed all the tape from the doors ready to put the bump strips back on.

anyone who hasn't already debagged use a toffee wheel instead of tcut and other stuff to remove the glue/tape

SOOO much easier and no where near as messy :)

i am going to color code the badge inserts aswell maybe do the badge black i dunno

then it was time for a clean up :) ( ignore the scrap waiting to be picked up :L)

after coat of wax 8) i was REALLY happy with the result for just a wash and a quick wax,

a nice reflection shot :)

i need some spacers bad, looks terriable :(

got the bumpers sprayed up today

buuut....

it turns out halfords candy white is NOT candy white :( i wasent happy with the bumper strip anyway

soo this happend

you cannot sand the bumps properly in the top and bottom and i was not happy with the finish so i would rather take the strips out and do it properly.

the strips looked fine until i put them on to the car, it is alot more "creamy" than it should be

so i got pissed off and am starting it all again :@ the handles were done with a proper brand spray and the colour match was perfect but the bump strips look so stupid being a diffrent shade :(

i also cleaned the throttle body as it was running quite rich, i didnt take any pictures of it off becasue my phone was dead at the time but the end reasult

why didnt you just unclip the rub strip instead of leaving it on the car? just a thought

i have now :) but i heard they was hard to get off the bumper and the clips snap easy

even though it was so easy to get out just needed abit of force

i was going to wait until i had more things so its not loads of stupid little updates

i got some pressed plates :)

gti clocks

£30 inc postage BARGIN 8) (thanks to shaunbmx)

excuse the rclick box :L i was going to wire the indicators in,

these clocks have around 20,000 more miles than my last clocks is there any way to change them ?

also the other week when it was raining alot i went out to the car and the passengers side foot well waas soaked and the car smelled pretty bad :(

i took the cover of the scuttle panel in the engine bay to see if the overflow holes were blocked and found this

so all the dirty water from this had got through the air box for the heaters and dripped inside the car:(

got the carpet pulled up on that side scrubbed and cleaned it then left to dry overnight, would not dry and the smell kept coming back even with all windows open all night

disenfected and cleaned AGAIN and put a heater fan in the footwell for a few hours and then decided to give the carpets a good clean after so i pulled all the seats out and got to work :)

Clean base, about the wheels i'd say look into the DARE reps as well, they are really good
