Looks superb Nathan. Interesting choice painting the hubs gloss black, might have to try that.

I'll see if I can find any pics as they looked great. I figured they would be less prone to showing brake dust etc!  :wink:

What did you use on the exhaust tips?

I have been working on mine as they are in a sorry state but not getting very far.

I firstly cleaned the tips with some G101 then attacked them with varying grades of wire wool and Autosol. To be honest I thought they'd had it but they eventually came up really well!  :happy2:

Mine were worse than those and I have been using wire wool and I must admit they are starting to look ok :happy2:

I can only echo what Stealthy has said, it looked superb in the flesh, an amazing turn around.
Striped car mats FTW, god bless Gaz! :laugh:

You're lucky you got to see the interior. We didn't even get the chance!

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

Where can I get a can of smoke silver? I refurbed my standard GTi wheels last year with the correct paint from VW and they look perfect.

I would like to sort a small kerb/wheel interface issue inherited from the previous owner.

Autosol and a couple of different grades of wire wool. Then used some Collinite Marine grade for protection.  :happy2:
