Mmmm... Shiny!


If it was me I would be investing some time into a very good sealant and wax routine to help fight the pink. Fk 1000 has good UV protection, so I would be using something like that followed by a good wax for some depth of protection. Dodo maybe.

She lives in a secure underground car park, so luckily I don't have to worry too much about the fade. Having said that thought I am a stickler for a good wax, so she will be treated with Swissvax when the rain finally lets up and I get time.

I will also look at that link you posted, interesting stuff. :)

It's still bucketing down with rain here (has been all week), so I've not had a chance to give her a good mop & wax. I gave her a quick clean this morning in the underground garage (much to the annoyance of the caretaker who found puddles of water everywhere!  :grin: ). Anyway, until the sun comes out these indoor pics will have to do for the people who were asking for some:




 
One week on and I'm loving the ownership experience.

:cool:



Stunning, very nice.

Where in Bristol is that? It's not the UG I thought it was where a mate used to live. I'm up in Brislington, we have a Bristol meet every last thursday of the month, VAGOwners.co.uk meet @ Bowlplex, Aspects Leisure Park, Longwell Green.  :smiley:

Looks mint, I've always liked red MK2's. My plan is to steal DPB's when he's not looking :rolleyes:

 How much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)?

Hi Matt - to be honest I'd rather not say in the public domain where the car is kept. However, I have been pointed in your website's direction and I had a look at your site and I will be popping along to the next meet, so I'll see you there!  :cool:

Tell you what Kittie, you can have it every other weekend and school holidays dub festivals and she'll be mine the rest of the time.

Saying that, I'd also like to steal your brakes :grin:
