Hi all, fairly new here. Recently bought a 55 plate mkv Gti. Needs a bit of work to get it up to a decent standard, the headlights are really hazy. I'm thinking of wet sanding them and then polishing with pc? Nevertheless i'm loving the car.
Here are two shots from the advert:
Then these are once I got it home:
notice the dodgy air filter?! Thats getting sorted when I have the funds.
Then a few after I'd given it a clean. I treated the faded grille and all other black plastic, cleaned some stains from the seats and went over the interior controls, gear stick, steering wheel with APC and detailing brush to remove grime!
first, they grey honeycomb
Best and most recent shot, with slightly more 'black' honeycomb..
Now I need to also show my beloved MK4.....
1998 1.4 petrol S reg.
My first car, my only car until the GTI. I had it for ten years, never let me down. I used to be fairly active on the uk-mkivs.net forum (a keen eye may spot the sticker in the rear window). Completely standard when i bought it. I tidied it up, became OCD with detailing polished the paintwork until it was immaculate etc etc. Sad to see it go!
Thanks for looking. Any comments welcome.
