Managed to get it washed, polished and waxed today for the third time this winter - gives it a nice barrier against all the sh*t that it collects on the road.
So here is how she looks after a couple of hours of hard graft:

Its a real pain in the arse though keeping the tail pipes clean! That's why i have given up on cleaning the pipes.

Are the Miltek pipes easier to keep clean?

.........best thing is to spend a bit of time & get them spotless & then once/twice a week quick wipe with a soft cloth inside & out & they will sparkle. Same with the Milltek(had both) just got to keep on top i'm affraid mate.

That'll be a job for the weekend then!

R32 rear lights arrived today - be fitting them sometime this week hopefully (when the missus is out  :happy2:, she won't notice the difference).

Will post before and after pics when done.

Waiting on the steering wheel controller then the MFSW can go on too.

Love the pics. Black always looks awesome in black.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
