Well Awesome GTi did my 40k service as well as Cam Belt and water pump change.... Picked the Edition 30 up from them and picked up an Edition 30 badge too to go on the front grille as I quite like that extra 'mod'

Bought some Poor Boys Slick n Suds from them too.. looking forward to the next wash!

Did my own valve cover EVAP bypass to eliminate exhaust smoke due to cracked EVAP ducting in the v-cover.

Full service, DSG service and cv boot replacement. New brakes needed now so wheels will have to wait a while  :P

I managed to remove the black death surround my tail pipes  :happy2:

Before:



After:



For those who have the same problem all I used was a wire brush, some very fine wet and dry paper and some brake cleaner. PM me if you want to ask anything  :smiley:

Dead chuffed with how they came out though!

Fitted a replica GTI lower grill to match the top one! Looks great if I do say so!

Are the pressed plates legal? The look really good imo.

The photo doesn't do them justice. Totally legal.

Have a read of the item description conforms to all legislation.

Fully clayed, polished and sealed my car over the last few days.

Snow-foamed and washed it again today... I had forgotten how much easier it is to clean a car that has some sort of protection on it.  :notworthy:
