Quick tip for when I saw you putting wax on previously, straight lines not circles! :happy2: You maybe know this by now already just thought I'd say as you did ask for tips! Good work though!

Thanks mate! I got the door mirror sorted today, thankfully I have a friend who works in a body shop and was able to spray and fit the mirror over night and is sorting the wing and bumper next week. I have a track day on Sunday at Brands Hatch so I didn't want to do the journey with no wing mirror!
Thanks for the tip, it was polish not wax I was applying, I'll bear it in mind for wax but is polishing circular motions mainly? Also how many passes should I give each panel for best results?
Thanks again dude :)

Great news, not too long then which is always good! Hopefully not to much sting to the bank balance either I hope!
I personally wouldn't use circle motions for anything to be honest, but I would perhaps save your money for other detailing items as I wouldn't hand polish either! I don't find you can really get much done with the hand, in my personally opinion! Save up for a nice DA maybe? :smiley:
Anyways, glad to hear you got your mirror sorted! :happy2:

Not one to be put down...
Despite my little indiscretion with some cones on the motorway the other day I managed to get the parts together to replace the wing mirror, and get it sprayed dead chuffed with the outcome! The rest of the body work is going in next week.
I love the car too much to loose interest, however having to watch funds for obvious reasons, I saw a few people having done the seat inserts on their models and thought I could stretch to those to show the girl I still care...yes @Eniqmatic this is your fault :happy2:
I went for the red to match a few other little bits...red and black, original I know! But still, they do add a little something to the interior.

Are your wheels OEM classix 17" ?
What colour did you get them painted? as they look great.
Did the centre plastic cover paint up ok?
Are you going to replace the vw logo? think it would look better, couldn't they mask them?

Hi mate yeah they are the OEM classix 17", they are painted in metallic gunmetal grey, I'm just waiting for the new centre caps to come in the post! Little did I realise when I ordered them that they where coming from Bulgaria!
