Like the ambient lighting shots Joe. The red lit strip on the door is a real nice touch.

It's a product I got off a pro detailer here last year. It really is quality stuff. RMP Super Crystal Diamond Glaze.

I found when applying it that the car has got such great little design details. The bumpers, especially the rear is really nice and chunky and sculpted... It gives the rear end a really aggressive stance. The MK6 bumpers were very plain in comparison. I think the front bumper could do with a lower "chin" though. From some angles it looks a bit high off the ground.

And the roofline is much lower than the mk6. Very noticeable when I stand at the rear to wash the roof. I don't have to reach as much as before!

Ha that's good to hear about the roof line being a bit vertically challenged and all  :grin: :grin:
