Haha mate, hardly anyone does. Outside of people who are in the "scene".  :sad1: :sad1:
If you need some detailing work give me a shout, I don't charge much ;)

I can do machine correction as well but only really in the warmer months as I don't have a unit or otherwise decent indoor place to do it.. I'm looking at getting one though. Hopefully will have a garage soon as I'm trying to buy a house as well  :popcornsoda:

Read my detailing guide as well which should help you get started!
If you're local man feel free to add me on FB we can meet up sometime and say hi.

Got all the kit (Das-6) just need to use it really. But don't have a huge clue as to what I'm doing of I'm honest!

Maybe worth saving that til warmer weather.

Happy to teach you :)
Yeah better off waiting until warmer weather unless you have somewhere like a garage to do it.

Sadly not dude. We move to maidenhead end of the month. Have a driveway though, so that's a bonus.

Gonna steam clean the engine back tomorrow and a half arsed clean so it's respectable for now.

Still need to come see you for the running light mod tho. Couldn't get it working earlier

Ah fair enough buddy! Better than nothing :)
Ah no? Yeah the running light is really easy man let me know when you're about we can meet up I'll sort it out ;)


In other news... Votex splitter I bought MONTHS ago finally got painted. Isn't 100% as it was painted by a baboon previously and without completely stripping EVERYTHING and starting from primer then it wouldn't be perfect, we bashed this out in a day and I'm pretty chuffed. So excited to get it all fitted which I'll do in the morning to allow a bit more time for the lacquer to fully harden.





Had to mix up a completely one off custom purple, as my buddy who does this spraying (He's a smart repairer by trade bloody good one too) could not get house of kolor stuff. We used Porsche Amethyst Metallic as a base and added more silver and pearl and it's a pretty bang on match to the House of Kolor shade ;)



Spraying it after having done the prep ...



Will update when they are fitted... :D

Looks good! I've been thinking about spraying me red gti lipstick trim, or buying a second one to change out. But can't seem to find them anywhere for sale. Do I have to resort to the stealers?

Tidies up the look of the car, especially if you have a colour theme, black and gold in my case, I just think the red messes with the look a bit. Maybe just me!  :signLOL:
