Who mapped it?

Nice work sir who did the map and review required?😉

Cheers lads. Was done by West Yorkshire Tuning in Bradford, the map is excellent with no errors. Have done about 100 miles since the map (pretty much addicted to driving it even more than I was)

Had my Nogaro wheels refurbished and powder coated gloss black. Definitely the finishing touch to my Carbon Grey/Black colour scheme I was going for.

Not mine but was polishing and ceramic coating a GTD this weekend, bought from Marshalls VW in England less than 9 months ago nearly every panel had been resprayed apart from the front wings unbeknownst to them.

Be careful out there folks, paint gauges are cheap.

Full interior clean, even got the detailing brushes out, was shocked what came out of the leather seats and the carpet.

@rowlers; looks good :cool:. It’s difficult to photograph the gloss and reflections on a white car, but you’ve managed it pretty well.

You’ll have to let me in on your secret to getting the full works done in 5 hours :smiley:. It takes me around three hours just to wash and dry my car, and when I’ve given it the full works including decontamination and machine polishing and waxing I can spend up 15 hours, spread over three days. :shocked: Maybe my ageing body and bad back doesn’t help things…………

Haha, yeah white never seems to gleam as much as other colours, but I can tell the difference. The paintwork was pretty clean anyway, I guess it's been well looked after in its previous life, so the machine polish was really quick with AG SR, nothing more aggressive needed.

It needed a couple more passes on some bird sh|t stains on the bonnet, but they came out easily enough.

It really didn't need a lot of work, the clay bar prob took the longest, at maybe an hour or so.

Got the DTUK box to fit tomorrow.
