Title: Clay Bar, polished and waxed... Gleaming!
Post by: PhilGeezer on June 26, 2014, 12:26:36 am

Used Meguiars clay bar kit, AutoGlym super resin polish then AutoGlym HD wax. Recommend all these products, took a while but great finish..... feels like glass  :grin:

Cheers mate  :happy2:

Yeah i need to get more power out of it to be honest, goes well and handles real good but im used to torquey diesels so i want it to pull more lower in the rev range!

I think im going to go for some new wheels but think the bbs lms are too common now, thinking of getting some porsche 997 turbo alloys.. my mate used to have them on his mk1 leon and they looked spot on  :notworthy:

the porsche wheels are pretty hard wheels to find in 5x112 though!
i think these 3sdm would look pretty good, im tempted  but not sure whether to go for more power first or looks  :scared:
