Josh's GTI
J60RWN:
Not a huge update but wanted to share some pictures of when I collected the car, was pretty dirty inside and out and tbh it was obvious it hadn't been looked after that well
Having picked the car up on the Friday afternoon I was too excited to drive it that I didn't want to spend a few hours washing/polishing so just give it a quick wash to make it presentable. On the Saturday woke up early and got to work.
-Wash with noodle mit (normally start with snowfoam but need to get more come payday)
-Dried with large microfiber drying towel
-Clay bar with Autobright fine clay and lube
-Wash again with noodle mit
-Dried again
-1 coat of Poorboys Black Hole
-1 coat Dodo juice purple haze
And this was the result
Autobright clay bar kit
First mini mod was the drivers side window switches that were both badly worn
Ordered replacements from good old eBay which were about £12 delivered
Door plastic off
And done
Also replaced the centre caps with these (the blue colour is just the protective plastic), forgot to get before and afters as usual :sad1:
Then just a picture while on a drive :smiley:
I installed the Neuspeed P-Flo intake over the weekend so will get pictures up when I've given the engine bay a good clean. Still planning on getting the wheels refurbed as one has bad kerbing to the face of the wheel from the previous owner. I've also convinced myself that the DV needs done so will be dropping it in to get it looked at come payday.
Can anyone recommend a decent snowfoam? I've looked at a few but would be good if anyone could recommend one they've used and had good results with.
Josh..

Looks great, black is the best colour! :happy2:
What size are the centre caps and where did you buy them from? I have the same wheels and mine are looking a bit shabby.

Thanks! I have to agree and of course we aren't biased at all :grin:
They're another eBay purchase, they're 65mm and cost £7 delivered.
