Quick wipe down of the engine bay

[SunnyGTI]

Whilst searching on eBay one day...I found a seller who was selling quite a few new genuine VW parts but very cheap! It seemed like it was old stock that they were clearing out....but I slowly started to buy all these little bits and bobs

Firstly, I did a thorough clean of the interior.

I used the armorall interior foam cleaner to clean the carpets and did a thorough vacuum. Then usually once a week I do a quick vacuum using the portable car vac (black and decker model from Amazon) and that keeps the car clean. The portable vac is surprisingly very good! Has more power if you start engine but it is good to quickly vac the car in 5mins





 I use the Dr Leather wipes every few months but the Meguairs wipes are amazing! Such a nice clean smell and leaves a super matte finish on dash plastics, stereo, leather etc




 Also fitted the Genuine VW golf stainless steel door sills. Again from eBay. Brand new but only £30...tape measure to ensure I stick them in the middle!





 Rubber mats also genuine VW parts and so easier to shake off and keep clean.

And a genuine VW boot liner!



And Genuine headlight protectors...after a stone chip smashing my previous golf's headlights and costing me over £100 I was happy to spend £15 on these

LED sidelights from ultra-hids on ebay

Headlight dipped beam are Osram nightbreakers which are much better than the stock lights I had. Much brighter and light shines further on road. There is a slight blue tint to them, but they look super yellow in this pic compared to the sidelights

A few updates

1) removed the headlight protectors for summer
2) fitted new h7 bulbs which have a xenon look
3) cleaned it thoroughly...!
4) fitted a Rieger carbon fibre rear diffuser
5) fitted carbon fibre wing mirror replacement caps

Some pics below... ☺️

Can't beat a bit of carbon 

That rear diffuser is

I see you managed to change the sidelights, can you give me any tips on how to extract the original bulbs?

Can't beat a bit of carbon

Thanks...! Yeh the rear diffuser is my favourite. It's a really good fit as it's a genuine Rieger part. And it's also slightly deeper so makes the car look lower.

Just need a final bit of carbon for the front end so it looks balanced with the mirrors and rear.

Just not sure what to get for the front...
