Finally cleaned it - 170k Golf
« on: 01 March 2009, 21:42 »
As some are aware, I bought a 170k golf that needed some TLC.  First I spent time getting it through the MOT, then got to giving it a damn good clean.  In the meantime, it's also had an R-tech remap  :evil:  Left to do (for now) new mirror glass (vandles), mirror covers, aero wipers and a new aerial.

A massive thanks to my mate Ross for helping with the exterior clean today, and a thanks to Sarah and Dan for letting me buy the car!

Interior before:




Rear Before:




Side Before:




Front Before:




During:

Front wing vs resprayed bumper

Front door vs rear door


50:50 of lower part of door - astonishing



Interior after (need more pics!):



Rear After:



Side After:





Front After:



All in all not bad for a car with over 170k.
