My fault. Meant sealants which are supposed to provide a better finish on white cars.

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

So a little update on this as the car was in today for a Maintenance top up. The customer also wanted me to replace his silver VW badges with some Black ones he had bought, so I happily obliged as the car had been aching for this little mod for some time.

I also adjusted the exhaust tips as they really were starting to look ridiculous!!  :rolleye:

Oh and just for Stealth, I treated her to a coat of Auto Finesse's Tough Coat Sealent. (although the car was still beading really well as the Dodo SN Hyrbrid was still doing it's thing).  :happy2:

What he said!  :laugh:

To be honest I'd quite happily scrub them back to the chrome finish but as I understand it they are going back under warranty.

BBBBBooooooooooooo!

Looks lovely, bet Brian is happy?

Those exhausts need sorting still, they stick out far too much!
Don't mention that bloody exhaust Dave! He's still banging on about it to anyone who will listen! :indifferent:



Think you'll find all is now happy in the garden Mark  :wink:
