I managed to get out this afternoon and get a few small bits done! First on the list was to give the section right behind the numberplate and grill a lick of paint.
It annoyed me while I had the grills off that it was so dirty and faded.
Before:
After:
I also Removed the yellow Laminex from the front fogs and covered them with 2 layers of tint. I'm just trying out a few different options and will decide which I prefer.
I also sprayed the fog light surrounds gloss black to match the honeycomb mesh. Really tidies up the front I think.
I'm giving the Badged front grill another try for a few days to see if I can make up my mind as to which I prefer.
It was then down to give the car a clean. I don't have any pictured of it before but it was in a sad state! I've been doing a lot of driving for work and just cant justify a mid-week clean!
I used Maguires Stage 2 Polish and then a quick spray of Maguires Quick Detailers to give an extra bit of shine. Maguires liquid tyre shine too! 8-)
The pictures really don't show off the finish but it does look great after the few hours work.
Back in the natural habitat... Petrol station.
The calipers are being sprayed chrome Silver the next day we get some sunshine. Also looking at the golf "R" retainer clips.
The car will also be going in for a service in the next 2 weeks which will also see the drilled and grooved calipers fitted before the NCT. The exhaust is hanging too low, may have been derailed at some stage but that'll be raised sooner rather than later.
