Orc:
What did you use to get rid of the swirls in the end bud. I have the same car and need to sort mine out but the hex pads are useless.

I was usung hex logic pads with chem guys polish and got nowhere with it!
Bought some 3m pads and the 3m sample kit (get plenty) I think I got it from cleanyourcar but loads of detailing shops do a sample kit now :)

Pre map checks all done. Hardly owt wrong with it but it's changed and ticked off the list, before r tech on the 16th :pomppomp: :jumping:

Hi mate did you use all three polishes that come with the sample kit? And which 3m pads did you specifically use?
Sorry to be a pain my car is in a similar condition to how yours was and I need to sort it asap :signLOL:

Dsg hopefully sorted. I was on holiday whilst my dad got it to a mates garage so don't know the ins and outs but from what I've been told by my dad.
There was a little bit of water in the gearbox oil caused by a faulty gearbox oil cooler and when I went on a long run on a hot day the moisture got into the Mechatronics unit and shortened circuits out giving me the interference in Mechatronics module fault code.
First they updated software and did basic settings and let my dad put a 100 mile on my car, this to see if the Mechatronics had ad it or not.
100 miles passed trouble free, so they changed the lol cooler for new genuine part and changed the gearbox oil and filter.
Cost me £160 all in although I have him a few drinks on top of that because he sorted me out do quick and picked the car up from my place for free.
Done about 300 mile since worry free.
So back to the good bits..
Today fitted my r32 rear bumper (eBay special) and my full TBE consisting off eBay decat downpipe (other then the bracket behind the flexi this was good quality can not complain, just had to trim the hangers on the bracket and heat them up and bend down slightly)
Behind that was a bcs sports system with the r32 style exit. Superb quality and was fitted in no time worry free :D
The old pro flow cat back fitted by previous owner..
I think it looks a lot better from the rear now although I'm gunna try and get the tips slightly higher. (Metal in the way) may heat it up and bend up slightly so In future if need be I could heat up and bend back down. Don't wanna start cutting it up!
Glad I went with the grey and smoothed the tow eye cover out too.
It sounds awesome! Can not wait for r tech map now to put it all together. Think I will eventually spray the front bumper and have the centre splitter done in the same grey.
Aswell as that I removed my stereo to get the code as I had no stereo since they changed the oil cooler, and finally fitted my cherry fed hazard switch whilst I was there :) great little mod this.

After
Only have crap pics atm and it really needs a wash but it's crap weather all this weekend! :(
