forgot to mention, i used linseed oil for the first time on my plastics  :smiley: added pics to see what you think.

it goes on very easily and looked  :cool: for a day before the rain attacked it! think i'll stick to the simoniz spray from now on.

the car should hopefully be getting fully deswirled by a pro in the next few weeks so watch this space  :smiley:

just need to get it lowered and a bufty exhaust and i'll be happy.

let me know what you think!!!  :smiley:

interesting on the linseed oil as everyone else i know swears by it... could you post your findings on it with before and after pics together with 'after rain' pics here pls http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=91049.msg1433965#new (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=91049.msg1433965#new)

wiper looks :cool: and the paintwork is looking a lovely red... watch you don't get pulled for those plates though  :wink:

perhaps i'm being over critical of the linseed oil, its certainly lost its gloss, i'll get some pics later today.
As for the wiper i nearly managed to fook the job up as my spray nozzle decided to snap off and i had to rescue it with super glue but it was a b1tch to line back up so it squirted in the right place  :laugh:

I've been ok with the plates so far (touch wood) drove past plenty of traffic cops etc and no problems so far.
