Your car looks awesome, what products did you use to get that shine?

Great photos ... car looks better than it left the showroom  :evil: :drool: :drool:

That's a very "wet look" finish you've got on the paintwork ... what wax / LSP do you use ?

Hi,

I've also got a Black GTI - A quick question, if I may: How have you got a 'metallic' look to the bottom of your rear bumper/valence? have you had it re-sprayed or is it a new part?

Where'd you get the black badge from?

I've been thinking about getting a black badge (not CF!) but then I feel I need to take the GTI off the front, otherwise it looks like a mishmash of styles.
 

usually people DIY job the badge, cheaper that way, all you have to do (very basically) is sand back the silver, prime it and then spray! not too hard if your patient  :smiley:
