black GTI Progress

Hi mate,
Sorry for the late reply. i didn't log a time. as it was my first lap i just wanted to know where i was going so i was pretty reserved but the go pro was on for around 12 mins. Started it at the ticket office then turned it off once back at the diner. Had to slow down at the end because of the yellow flag.
Little update,
Car is super dirty and needs a good wash. Currently parked near another gti. think it belongs to @Deano45 but i could be wrong. His car is so clean it makes mine look like crap. Anyways looking at possibly getting a set of stance+ coilovers and a few other handling mods. Want to get the handling sorted before taking the trip to R-Tech for more power.
Im also thinking about colour coding the side skirts and rear valance. And i most definitely need to do some paint correction but I'm thinking I've left it a bit late as the s**t weather is closing in. Can anyone recommend a good set of cleaning products?? Currently using poor boys black hole but i am in need of a decent clay bar kit and a good product to seal the car with.
As always thanks for reading

I use natty's paste wax sealer after poorboys, wipe on buff off, easy. I've seen they now sell one specific for black cars now too.

Decided I want to satin my grill. How did you separate it?

Dead easy mate. Pop the bonnet. There are some screws/torx bits along the top of the grill then I pretty much just pull it off. There is some screws which connect the lower and upper half of the grills but mine weren't there. They are below the number plate mate. You'll be able to see them if you look.

I can work out how to separate the honeycomb grill from the number plate part. Mine appears to be one piece.
