Righto a small update to keep things up to date. I have been splurging slightly.
Bought these from Mandy on here;
And fitted, forgive the crumbs etc I have yet to clean the interior;
Thankyou Mandy arrived really quickly and are exceptional quality and fit, why vw didn't fit these as standard who knows.
Also purchased and fitted surrounds and pressed plates front and rear, love these;
If you look on the right of the plate you can see some lacquer peel on the bumper, this is partly why the front will be going for a respray soon.
Bought this from creation Motorsport on the bay, in my opinion the quality isn't quite there, this will be for sale soon and I hope to fit the osir version at an eyewateringly expensive price.
Got some new genuine mats, not sure of the price of these from tps, I got mine from vw beadles delivered I think they were slightly cheaper than other places.
No piccies of these fitted as I left mud all over the inside of my car yesterday.
Been collecting bits in perpetration for my alloy recon, I've decided to go down the diamond cut route with black inserts, so purchased some genuine caps from ebay, they were very cheap so hope there real.
I had been after a set of these for a while now, a pair appeared on the forum and I snapped them up;
Genuine open fogs.
So all pulled of :signLOL:
All cleaned up;
And fitted;
Loving these as well, I think they make the front end look more aggressive.
So the fruits of my drunk late night splurging turned up, 1 large white box. I don't think the missus could understand how a box so light could cost so much.
She was even more unimpressed when she spotted the contents of the box.
But look I excitedly said, wheel brushes and wax a mammoth drying towel and even even iron x, this makes your car go purple. Mmmmnnnn. Silence.
That's it for now more later.

So with the long weekend I decided to give the outside of the car a tidy up, test out the bits and bobs I'd bought. First off I don't have a snow foam lance so I tried a product from halfauds called demon foam I think, it has a built in head. It wasn't bad it went on quite thick but had no real dwell time. This was about 5 mins in.
Unfortunately I didn't take any before piccies of the car, it was pretty filthy. Rinsed off I cleaned using the 2bm with a lambs wool wash mit and megs gold.
Not sure if the car had ever been iron x ed before, I was expecting lots of purple streaking some areas were worse than others. Man does this stuff stink though I was literally ruining my neighbours weekends with noxious emissions, kills grass as well. :signLOL:
Over the past few weeks I had noticed the large amount of tar deposits on the paintwork, I've never used a product like this before and had my reservations but I was pleasantly surprised.
Tar removal with auto finesse obli tar ate. Play on words you see. :signLOL:
You can see the amount of tar on the wings, dissolved quickly and wiped excess with mf.
All washed off after decontamination etc.
Clayed all down, washed off and then patted dry I cracked on with the hand polishing I new I would never achieve massive results and was happy with what I got. I didn't take into account I would lose the will to live about halfway through.
The wax applicator was ace though and I loved the wax went for petes 53 I think :signLOL:. It went on really easily smelt lovely I think it's aimed more for darker cars but I read somewhere it makes the fleck in lighter cars pop.
Didn't manage to get everything done still got the interior and engine bay to do. I have bought this to have a go at the faded trim hate the colour it goes over time makes the car look really tired.
C4
After my cleaning session I was going over just checking my work and noticed rust on both front sills behind where the door opens and a small bubble on one of the wings, I'm aware of the issues on the mk 5 platform. Can anyone give me any advice about how to get what i want from vw I.e full cost covered ways of wording things etc. has anyone had any experience of inchape chester.
Anyway Im cheering myself up by buying new tyres, going to wait on the recon of alloys until bodywork has been carried out by vw as they would probably use my freshly diamond cut alloys as curling stones when they get bored of not blending my wings. :signLOL:
I opting for vredestein sessanta as I love the tred pattern, there a good price for 4 and I have read some really good reviews on them.
Still have some small jobs to attend to from previous list and I need to replace my third brake light hopefully have one on order by next week. I do find that the list just keeps growing you never seem to get on top of it.
Anyway that's all for now folks.

Ah one big ass box. :signLOL:
