Back bumper looks great :happy2: Surprised it has made such a big difference on a Black car. Getting mine done in a few weeks and i cant wait :happy2:
-
Very nice mate. Glad you did some work on the tailpipes. :innocent: :signLOL:. I've got F-R mud flaps & i think they look good.
-
I have the same Dubmeister/ Plate wolfsburg surround. Looks the Dogs danglies fella :happy2:
-
Thanks for the comments all. It looks much better with the bumper like that! God knows why VW did not do this as standard is crazy.
B3n it looks very good on a black car, i was surprised how much better it looks.
-
Very nice there fella! :congrats:
-
How much did it cost to get the rear bumper sprayed mate if you dont mind me asking?
Looks so so soooo much better!!
-
It was £170 to do the bumper, but tbh the body shop that done it was crap!! It toke a fair bit of hassel to get it looking spot on again as im a fussy fooker.
-
hey is dat for solid black or metallic as was thinkin of gettin mine sprayed?
-
Its Metallic mate :)
-
very nice !

Well heres an update: I'm off to France in two weeks, and this weekend is only one with some spare time. So i thought i would detail the GTI as being meaning to do it since i had it. And the thought of driving in France with the bugs welding to the paint work i thought i best protect it a bit.
I forgot to take pics before etc and only doing it after DOH. Brief of what i done for thouse whos interested:
Wash car
Clayed
Toke wheels off, painted disc inlays silver. Better than the rust that was on them!! Also put a layer of poor boys all over the alloys.
Started to have a slight correct of the paint, nothing to bad just to cut it back a bit and get few marks out of the paint. done with porta cable.
Then went of the car with Dodo juice pre wax clean lime juice.
Polish the car with wet look (cant remember the make)
Then went over with Dodo juice soft wax purple
Left for over an hour then put a coat od Dodo jucie hard wax blue.
Clean the plastic with auto glym bumper care.
Cleaned glass
And wiped over engine bay. Heres the pics (sorry im no good with a camera!):

Really like that pic. Looking good and good work :happy2:

+1. With black paint, IMO, the best demonstration of the quality of detailing is the reflection of the shot.
I once saw a pic of someone's garage roof. Perfectly clear. Didn't realise it was the paintwork on his car!

SHINEY :drool: :drool: :drool:

Looking good Rhys!
I was really enjoying the pics until i saw the pics of the WD40 and shat myself! i had to re-read your lil right up to see you hadnt used it on the paintwork for something!
-
LOL JPC, its ok i didnt use the WD40, was first bottle managed to put hand on :)
Car is looking all dusty now :(
