I am guessing by the title Spring clean you mean your annual clean, man you car was dirty  :grin:

Looks good spruced up though.  :drinking:

Wow! Such a massive difference!

How did you clean the engine bay?
The black plastic trim looks sooo....black. What did you use?

Still can't get enough of those monzas!

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