Well took the plunge and bought my first derv!
After the painful few minutes of parting with a few £k's I drove home and wow did it make me smile!

Any way less of the talk and time for some photos!

So then it was onto the deep clean, change plates and de-wiper:
Jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, clay bar, jetwash, polish, dodo juice wax 
Enjoy some black magic shinyness!










Reflection 

[Gareth F]

After going through all that on the exterior and becoming over strong on my right arm i thought it would be rude not to carry on.
Only an hours work

Well this got delivered and i was eager to try carbon wrapping out, one bloody finger later and it was done. Also fitted led reg plate bulbs which makes the back end look so much fresher and upgraded to a nice blaupunkt headunit which sounds amazing (cubby hole was in the post still!)




Cheeky mpg on a 44 mile motorway journey, very tempting to boot it though 

[Gareth F]

Tyres needed changing so the skinnies had to go and were replaced with 225/45/17 Audi TT comps, check out the arch gaps

Up next were a few tweaks to the exterior in the form of a debadged grill and a colour coded sharan badge.





Mmmm beading

[Gareth F]

Found a right little bargain today from a murky ebay picture!
Here we have a rear bumper with Vortex splitter bought for £30 and have just sold the bumper on for £25 so vortex splitter for £5 




Will have to paint and fit it in a few months as im off to India!

Boredom set in and i fancied being crazy so out came kawasaki caliper paint 




Some may not like it but i do
