just thought i'd show you my efforts at cleaning my car! (yeah tis only a driver) but i spent ages doin this, and i also had a fight on the drive with the hosepipe - stupid nozzle came off, and i got soaked in the process... not good, but was nice weather so i soon dried off! used all my free autoglym to do my car! (please ignore the dents at the rear of the car and my wheels... in the process off sorting out two sets of alloys!) :wink:

Very nice and shiny :smiley:
I really should give mine a clean, hasnt had a proper clean since BVF, which was over a month ago now!!
I have to say I really like small bumpers now, I used to be all for big bumpers but small bumpers have definately grown on me, will defo be keeping mine!! You thought about getting the matching red striped side trim, like the gti? Think it could look really good :smiley:

Looks like a good job - fancy giving mine a good clean? :laugh:
-
you'll be lucky! my car gets cleaned once a week atleast, and it taes me forever to do it! good old' bucket, sponge, hosepipe and autoglym! wanna try one of them flash things.. but its a lot of money just to wash car.. can anyone rate them? don't wanna buy sh!t LOL :grin:
-
very clean, youve really gotta tidy them wheels though!!! :tongue:
-
gettin my alloys - got a choice of two sets, but dad won't let me have two sets, but I WANT both!! just gotta decide and let him know when i'll collect!
-
lookin nice. 5 doors rock! :smiley:
-
small bumpers are cool, id get your self a 'gti' lower spoiler for the front there a bit deeper than the driver ones, i gave one away a few months back.........
:smiley:
-
looking good han.... :smiley:
And im sure the neighbours weren't to bothered about the imprompto wet t-shirt competition.. :tongue:
-
looks clean :cool:
your off the no rice forum enit?
-
BLING!! :cool: thats a really mint mk2... i was wondering about that flash dewbury as well.. think halfrauds had a sale on for that the other week.. think it was going for a score :cool:
-
My mate swears by the new flash thingy i ve witnessed his efforts and if ya like streaks go buy one, bloody awful and the construction is even worse. Glym will be here in 5 years anyon :grin:e reckon Flash car wash will??
-
babybluemk2 - no i'm not from no rice forum - only this forum! :laugh:
sugar - unfortunately its not that mint... you can't see the dents on that pic! there are dents in both rear doors (identical) and also identical dents behind rear wheels above the bumpers, interior is immaculate though, been well loved! the trolley jack thing in the spare wheel was wrapped ina teatowel to stop it rattling! Not a bad car for £200 i guess!!! LOL
Mix - as for the wet t-shirt competition... i only got laughs from the mechanics in the garage over the road :embarassed: i was't amused tbh!
The lacquer has started to peel around the front of the wings, what should i do? is there anything i can do?
-
get the laquer repaired soon as you can otherwise anything can get under it and damage it more normally you end up with a smokey white layer over the paint,
-
yeah but how do i get it repaired - looks like a 2nd layer of lacquer that has started to peel tbh... i got a litle pot of clear lacquer.. can that be painted on when car is clean and dry? :angry:
-
good work han. You have a great base car for some tasteful little mods there.
What wheels are u thinkin about? Maybe we can help
-
think i'm buying both sets tbh, only got pics of one set tho, the others r bbs. Got a great deal from a fab guy for two sets of alloys n big bumpers, dads thrown his teddy out of the cot cos of me buyin two sets of alloys, and doin me steelies up! ahwell... i want... LOL :laugh: the other set of wheels r like bbs me thinks... aparently they need a bit of work and a good clean, but tis fine by me! what do ya reckon?

look in good condition, probably goin to be a good winter wheel meanin u can do somethin special to the bbs wheels and not worry about nackarin them up in the sh!tty cold.
Keep the pics comin hun.

I cleaned mine 2 at the weekend but didnt do half as good a job as you. I still had flies all over the front! I think a few subtle mods will have you looking like a gti driver in no time. You could start by laying y rear wiper flat. Easy to do and looks loads better.
-
You can never beat a late J plate Driver, the nicer interior, central locking & power steering perhaps too & the almighty important rev counter.
I have two of me own in my travels, one was a 90 model and the last one was the 1.8 Driver, both served me well with an accumulatively milage of 29k in 16 months :)
Keep up the good work, I can't believe the price it was a steal, nice rare colour for a driver too, good to see one in good nic.
-
i got central locking, but no power steering! poop - i've sh!t out! lol tis a fab car, looking for the perfect gti though... lol! had my exhaust fixed yesterday... no mroe blowing! woohoo... performance is immediately better! woohoo :shocked: freebie from kwik-fit! lol still need to get my clutch sorted though! argh!
-
Oh i, why did y get it for free! :grin:
-
it's not what you know its who ya know|! :laugh: :grin:
-
or how you do it with what you have :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :evil: :laugh:
