And finished product :)




Getting the rear diffuser done in gloss black next week, and colour coding the front lower bumper strip :)

Looks great  :cool:  Good call on the gloss black diffuser and front lip.  Gloss black mirrors too?  Love that combo on white.

Ah gutted for you. I did the same on my Mark 6, entered a car park a bit too quickly, and caught the rim/tyre on the curb, causing damage to the rim and tyre. Does make your stomach turn :undecided:

As for washing, purchased a K4 ecologic pressure washer, so I gave the new car a good clean. Just need to get a decent lance and snow foam ( waiting for clean your car to renew their stock).

Bad news booth but it was all ready marked so not the end of the world it will repair  :wink:

It happens, but I've had enough of diamond cut alloys.  All of them need refurbing now  :cry: 

Diamond cuts + conti 5s (zero rim protection) + driven daily + woman driver = KERBED RIMS.  :embarrassed:

I hope I fare better with Pretorias.  I'm gonna be parking in the middle of the road, miles from any kerb  :grin:

Hmm that's a good call, got me thinking now of doing that aswell, anyone got a picture of one that's already been done? On a white golf?

Someone etched "Clean Me" into my bootlid!!!!!!!!! Fuming.
Thankfully, over the weekend my uncle helped me wet sand and machine polish it out and finished with some GTechniq. Now I have a mirrored boot lid and the rest of the car swirled lol

Also.................3 of my wheels have developed whiteworm over the winter. I popped down to my VW but unfortunately my cars past the 3 year warranty for replacement..this may call for a new set of wheels. BBS CH-R I reckon

I've also got some new tyres recently. Got myself some Goodyear F1 A2's. Amazing set of tyres, probably the best purchase for my car i've made
