if it rains when your driving, water will get in all the sills. ive not got 5dr but both the front sills in mine get dirty

Sad but true i love washing my sills and door jars mine are always spotless first thing i wash after the wheels are out the way.  :happy2:

The wheels are the bit I hate. Either have to squat or kneel down, neither of which I like doing. Plus I need to give them a clay. Should have done the wheels and sills today instead of napping.

Fave bits are claying (love the smell of the detailer spray) and tyre dressing (turtlewax smells so good I want to eat it!).

*goes off to sniff some turtlewax*

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Just smelt both now and the turtlewax smells sweeter and yummier.

Turtewax extreme nanotech tyre gel from halfrauds. Go have a sniff tomorrow when no one's looking. Get the bottle, pretend to be reading the labels and covertly open the bottle (hold the cap with one hand and twist the bottle round when you turn to read the back of it!). After that, you can quite easily covertly open the lid. Sniffing is gonna be obvious though.

Planned to fit my Gulf inserts today and they dont fit, the angle on the sides is quite far out.  :sad: :sad:
I am guessing its because i have different seats though i thought that part of the seat was the same  :confused:.
Could someone kindly post up a pic of there insert fitted please.  :happy2:

I paid a visit to my local hobby shop today and got some ribbon and these little glue dots, going to give them a go if i can obtain some inserts that fit.  :wink:

I tried something different with my inserts, they are not the best fit in the world as i had to get the dremmel out and alter the shape due to me having different seats.



I tried to get them matching my mats, i thinking i am turning gay.  :laugh:
