i know its early doors yet dom but what are the running costs like against the mk3?
I think it's probably pretty similar tbh, I took it down to Donny & back the other day (250miles round trip) and it averaged 36mpg. I did the same trip in the mk3 last week and it averaged 37mpg.
It was however a hell of a lot more comfortable, quieter & generally a nicer drive
I swapped my number plate surrounds from the mk3 earlier, i'm going to order some dubmeister plates when I get the logbook back.
I have spent more time than I would care to think today sorting out a few imperfections with the bodywork & giving it a general clean. I got no before pics or any of the process but here is what I did:
- Snowfoamed with Magifoam
- Washed with 2 bucket method & chemical guys citrus gloss shampoo
- Clayed with Megs clay
- Machine polished with a variety of Mezerna polishes depending on the panel & imperfections on it.
- Followed by Poorboys blackhole glaze
- Finished with Collinite 476s wax
The bodywork is now absolutely gleaming and most of the marks/swirl marks have been removed:
