Wow! Wow! Wow!

Amazing work! I still cant see why VW was dumb enough to stop producing that colour! The Monza Shadows look gorgeous too!

Lovely looking car and the colour looks great when its clean and shiney like that too!!
One thing tho, get that bumper painted up ;)  I'd love to know what was going thru VW's heads when they decided to just put them on without painting them - cost cutting at its most stupid lol

Ta for all the great comments, makes all the graft even better!  :happy2:

The Wax I used was Collonite 476S, which I've used before and seems to be pretty good stuff - sadly no nice smell or anything while your working but hey, the finish is what your after.

Started off with the Foam Lance
2 Bucket wash
Megs Quik Clay Bar
Megs Hot Rims then Collonite Waxed the wheels
Wet and Black on the tyres
Scratch x2 in a few places
Autoglym Resin Polish
Colonite Wax
While the wax cured I cleaned the interior with some Megs Gold Class Leather conditioner (don't rate too much)
Polished off the wax
Cleaned all the glass with Megs NXT (fantastic stuff)
Then finally a quick wipe over with Demon Shine to take off any dust polish
Stand back Grin and take some photo's!!!

And as for the spec - Yep SatNav, Armrest with 6CD and rear (working) air vents, DSG, MFSW, Paddle Shift, 18's (refurbed Shadow style), RPS, Highline, Cruise, Auto Lights / Wipers, Sunroof, Heated Leather, and all standard with the car when purchased. (I have the sticker in the boot to confirm) :grin:

And your right about the Rear bumper defo needs painting (on my list of things to do!). :happy2:

At the Mo it's REVO Stage 1, with a K&N Typhoon induction kit which is (and sounds) AWSOME!!! :evilgrin:

Cheers again Guys :notworthy:
