Yep still loving mine....
Have to admit that about 5 months ago i was tempted to get rid due to a few personal issues, but after testing a few other golf's i couldnt wait to get back in the CS..

Oofft, that was a close call, pleased to hear you you managed to hang on to it!

Black with exhaust gasses, sort of sooty? When I picked mine up I polished the chrome with Solvol Autosol polish, they seem to clean up pretty easily now. A decent metal polish like that should shift the black stuff and make it easier to keep clean in the future.

I waxed mine with wheel sealant (sad I know) when I first detailed the car when it was new and they do get sooty bit it just wipes off.

Hopefully we’ve seen the last of the gritters and I can get it out soon!

Not sad at all, detailing a new car saves a lot of future pain, I detailed mine too, took two days, and I'm not someone who enjoys cleaning cars by any stretch of the imagination.

It's meant to be another cold week next week, so don't hold your breath quite yet  :angry:

My mk6 was bad for getting black sooty crap on the tail pipes and found waxing them helped it from sticking so did the same in this one

Hoping to get the car out when I’m next home.

Planning on doing the north coast 500 this year and maybe another Europe trip (avoiding Switzerland :whistle: )

Hard to believe I know but had my CS stored for the last 12 months and just putting it on the road this weekend, it's at the detailers getting the full works.

Pics to follow but can't wait, the short drive from storage to detailers yesterday was enough to to get me excited as to why I bought this.  I am biased but think it's the perfect CS spec

Tornado red, manual 3 door, bucket seats, black roof, 19inch brescias, adaptive chassis. 

Pics to follow soon.  It says something that the storage guy said it got a lot of attention in the company of ferraris and Astons..
