weekend will get stuck in my the lifeshine ive bought from ebay!. need to clock some miles up b4 santa pod! :wink:. she has only done 1200 miles!.

Is it second hand?? Looks like its brand new! Nice buy...bet your well happy to be back in a GTI :smiley:
-
Love the colour Phil!!! Great spec you go there too!!
-
oh boy, im like a kid in the sweet shop, i like the monza II's with the grey on the alloys which match the colour of the car, red calipers, looks great in the sunshine. She is one year old manu, but has been used once in one year. A single trip to Holland and back, and a few trips to Marks and spencers and thats it!!!!, in a year!. so bagged i think a real bargain for £21k and a good spec aswell.

yeah spraying the huffs the similar colour would look kool.. a bit like the colour of the lambo reventon.
but not to keen on the body grey colour myself as it dont look sporty.
-
Steel Grey is THE colour I think :smiley:
Looks beautiful

You must be really happy to be back in the Golf.
It looks brand new :drool:

Phil - very nice indeed. Best colour IMHO - always spotting black GTIs but not many grey - although I see a lot of Grey GT's
Are you keeping DSG badge on back? Never seen that before.
Enjoy...
P.s. First task is to get rid of that dealer sticker :grin:
-
Yes the dsg badge was my handy work!! ( ebay)£6.99. it warns off ed30 Manual GTi peeps to make way!! :wink: :laugh: maybe not on ed30 dsg! :embarassed:

Erh why???? im not lieing about what it is?? whats the difference between that and maybe EDITION30 BADGE?? sorry i dont understand why you think it looks pap teddy?
-
Just my opinion chief :laugh: If you like it, keep it :cool: :cool:

Looks great, good condition and great colour.
IMO I wouldn't bother with Lifeshine or any of those "lasts for years" products, get a Porter Cable machine polisher and some Meguiars #80 and a decent synthetic wax, NXT or similar and a decent carnuba to put on over the top, I use P21S.
I have had 4 cars from new which all had one of those dealer options, LifeShine, DiamondBrite, SupaGuard or similar, and they all promise lots but deliver little. I found they all stopped water beading off in around 1 to 2 months.
When I took my S4 back to the dealer (I traded it in for the GTI!), he asked how I got the paintwork to look so good! I hadnt cleaned it for a while and it still looked great!
They still put one of their products on the GTI, I'd polished it off and fully waxxed her up in less than a week..... :rolleyes:

Looks like a brand new car. Great colour too :cool: :wink:
