Gave it a double waxing after a good wash. Meguiars cleaner wax and then a carnauba coat. My new buffer/polisher did a fine job for only costing $40usd on sale. I'll get a pic tomorrow if sunny again ;]

....Very nice set of pics - Great natural light  :happy2:

I particularly like that you have extended the black roof vinyl onto the spoiler in that way - Looks much more 'designed'.

Put a new battery in the gt tdi after not driving it for about 3 months (getting slack i know lol), had to leave the jump leads connected for around 20-25 mins for the old batt to charge up to drive

Then took the car for a 20 mile (ish) drive around, first time in 3 months the sub has gotten some wack aswell lol, also set of a few alarm (always good imo - on main road not side roads)

Next up is a full service with oil, oil filter, air filter, pads and discs etc... you lot know the rest

Also going to try and sort out my coilies and alloys this year to try and make the car worthy of this site

Yesterday it was sunny with a soft blue sky all day. Snow and ice long gone :star: and so an ideal opportunity to stretch my car's legs, especially with the cold air which turbo's love. She hadn't been driven for a couple of weeks.



^ 24th January (yesterday).

And I took another pic of my plaque as the lighting was nice when I opened my bonnet to check fluids........



I drove down to the beach on my way home and went for a short walk. Very few people about  :smiley:

Overcast today with rain expected later but I'll be at home all day as usual.  :happy2:
