Monster_Mike:
Thanks for posting up all the work you have carried out, I've got to do many of these my self and you've broken them down in nice bite size chunks.. Especially doing both front and rear light lenses..

Thanks Mike, it's my pleasure mate! I really enjoy doing the thread :smiley:
I've learnt so much from similar posts like this over the years. I feel I'm doing my bit to help or inspire people do these jobs....which the dealers would charge a small fortune for doing. When all it takes a bit of knowledge and a few basic tools.
I've also made a great record of the progress that I can look back upon, in the years to come and reminisce :grin:

Brilliant transformation! Didn't think much to the black GTI's but this has converted me. Small touches definitely make the biggest differences!

I second this, finding this thread very inspiring and helpful to those of us who aren't so confident diving in and doing stuff our self's. Thanks!

I'd love to give a machine polisher a go, always been a bit apprehensive I guess.. Now I've just got my black gti its defo entering my mind again. And seeing your results, if I can get mine looking 50% as good it'd be a great improvement! Did you follow a guide on the lenses? I guess you used wet and dry paper on the 800 and 2000 grits before you buffed them up? Are you going to buff up your exhaust tips? One of mine looks like yours did with the sun blistering sort of damage on it.. You did an amazing job on yours though.. Look brand new now!!!! :happy2:
