The side stickers are the standard stickers that are on the MK1 GTI. As mine was resprayed a couple of years ago, the stickers were removed and when I bought the car, there were replacement stickers in the book. They are black stripes, thich and thin, that go along the side (and back too I think). Thick on top of the thin.... placed low down on the side. Not 100% sure of where though so was wondering if anyone had pics of the front/side/back of their MK1 that I could look at. Cheers  ;)

As for Autoglym vs Meguirs... I'm personally just happy seeing my car clean!!! But when I do finish my tub of this stuff, then will go with your recomendation  ;)

Still gotta put the stickers on but need to sort out the tiny rust pateches first. No idea how to though! Any one give me advice on the easiest ways to deal with rust? :-\

Will def get some pics up soonish.... but the car is ill at the moment  :(  The exhaust pipe has broke near the mid section. Was contemplating a performance system but is gonna take too long to make and can't afford it :( So am getting a standard new mid and back box put on... all for ?101!!! I had quotes for about ?130 plus, but called Humphries in Reading and said I had a quote for ?101 and they matched it!!! Always worth a try calling their bluff as they are great at matching prices... on tyres too. So any of you guys in the area... give 'em a go... and never give them the correct price when price matching ;) hehehe  :P
