Hi there,

Just purchased a black 06 GTi with cream leather interior as a daily driver. Car is very clean and lovely to drive.

Will be looking at going stage 1 when the wife gets used to the stock power!

Cheers

Just changed the pcv on the gti to a revision R. Was a C in there so I'm guessing it was the original. I think  getting better mpg already! Averaged 28 on a run through town just now with a little bit of boost. Happy with that.

Spent about 5hrs cleaning the car over the weekend.

- Snow foam and rinse
- Wash using Maguires gold class
- Rinse and dry
- Clayed using dodo juice Claybar and megs quick detailer
- Rinsed
- Coat of poor boys black hole
- Wheels cleaned with megs wheel cleaner and waxed

Bloody on/off rain means I didn't get a chance to wax the car to finish it off. Will do next weekend.

Very happy with the results of the black hole, not used it before.
