Title: Hi all from the north east
Post by: stumk5 on February 09, 2010, 07:55:21 pm
Hi all

Just bought myself a 2005 Golf Gti in graphite blue, dsg and leather. I will get some pics up when i detail it within a inch of its life.

Loving the car already after moving from a rather swift 300bhp impreza, the impreza was good, only problem was it just had its balls out all of the time.

welcome.

cheers for the comments guys

it is day and night between the scoob and the golf, the scoob was faster but the golf is so much more refined and a nice place to be, oh and im getting a bit more than 20mpg from the golf also.

Well i had a little clean today, stripped any old wax off and gave it a damn good clean, door shuts and all those little areas that people dont bother to wash.

Gave it a nice coat of chemical guys wax to see it over.  I even managed to get the standard exhaust looking shiney(it was matt black when i tackled it) althought it did take 1.5hrs of hard graft!

Wheels are getting refurbed next month then when the weather gets a little warmer im going to give it a full correction detail with the DA, i think 2-3 days should have it looking like new.

Here are a couple of pics in the mean time, love this colour...

The shadow blue is a dark blue, this blue graphite is like a bluey-grey kinda colour... Both nice colours though
