Superb work Jim.  Must have been hard work, but satisfying to bring it to that standard.

Thanks, yes it's great getting results like this. As you will know, black cars are the hardest to work on but the best when done right. He said wow when he saw it, not driven it home yet as weather has turned a bit grim here in Sheffield again this evening....  And just went out now...

With the valve in the 6 o clock position, the VW badge should be the right way up.  :wink: Now get those wheels off, and sort it out.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Doh! I knew something didn't look right, I'll go and do it now :whistle:
I actually noticed you can get centre caps with a red circle like they fit on clubsport, I thought they would look good with the tornado red...... then I saw the price £100 for 4!!
