What did you and your MKV do today?

[Phil Miller]

Well due to being on call this week my cars at work, ive started to amass some parts for my latest round of replace and mod, here is the list of parts

New Turbo
GTI rear calipers and discs
Genuine rear pads
Powered coated GTI rear back plates
5 lts LL oil (TPS oil bonanza £20, before the 15% increase which started today)
genuine oil filter £2.84 +vat
mk6 boot handle
ED30 boot spoiler

all i need now is about 5 hours to fit the rear brakes, Turbo and give it a full service

Got some leather door cards to match my seats, so used the opportunity to fit some door exit lights.



Also took out my seats and pulled carpet back to tidy up the masses of wires I've put in over the years!

I like those ^ more than the reflectors ;}

Today I found out 'one more week until I get 'er back'  :(

[John GT140]

They look brilliant in the dark, really stand out.

John - How's it going? What painter you using? Got a bumper I need sprayed up.

[Matto]

Not alot personally but stood around while the man from AA fitted me a new windscreen. I just know that as soon as I get it off the drive something is going to hit the window.

Both front wings, bonnet and Boot lid stratch removal....  to this...



removed over 40+ stonechips from a car thats done 60k, and those guys with tornado red cars will know how annoying they are... Cars now shinning like a pin, polish yet to be applied in the last photo, so when i get chance i will add some Nattys wax later

Fantastic work! Fancy tackling my emocion red bonnet!?

wasnt all plain sailing though mike, tried to repair the bootlid from a recently aquired scratch, using 2000 grit, managed to rub clean through the laquer and down tothe primer on the bootlid, with just over a dozen rubs, which resulted in a boot respray and some magic by my detailing guru thankfully.... Goes to show the ammount of wet sanding on the bonnet and wings with no issue,the bootlid had hardly any paint from the factory on it  we both stood in disbelief  but thankfully you wouldnt know there was a repair done..

Looking good Steve....although from that pic the bumper looks a different shade, hopefully that's just the light!

its just the daylight mate, the repair was done just to the right of the VW Badge.

Steve, did your man not use a paint gauge before he started sanding?
