woahnowboys' measly 1.6 FSI on S Class wheels.

[Lewis86]

Thanks guys
Yeah, the arch gap just looked stupid, especially on the back.
The guy who bought them off me has a Jetta that's going on air, so shouldn't be a problem for him, the lucky so-and-so!

I'll swap you the center grilles!
Love the GT front

[mark c]

Shame mine is the pre-face lifted GT front

Put the facelift bumper on then! Only takes an hour. 

[woahnowboys]

Yeah, facelift takes no time at all, take the old one off, cut the new one a bit, and bolt the new one on!
Bumpers are cheap, it's the grilles and splitters that can get expensive

[woahnowboys]

Got 'round to fitting the air vents last night, I've been ill, so haven't been doing much car stuff recently.
The car is stinking on the outside, never seen it so bad, I'll upload a picture tomorrow!
Here are the vents, they look much cleaner now, just need the cup holder

[jonnym]

Ooooooooo

[woahnowboys]

Ooooooooo

Thanks! Haha if only I could be bothered to do it again! It needs a full correction and some tough wax for the winter IMO.
I'll try and remember to get a picture today haha

[woahnowboys]

Got around to cleaning her today, after around 800 miles of filth in the last 2 weeks
Before



Whose fingerprints?!


Don't even know what happened here, never seen wheels do this before.

Iron-X, Wheel cleaner, snowfoam, shampoo.


Out came the fisheye.






I've run out of snowfoam & shampoo now though, gotta order more!

EDIT: Just ordered new centre caps as these wheels will likely stay for a few weeks, and smaller tyres for the front to stop the rubbing, and they'll theoretically give me 20mm less ground clearance

Although I got beached last night coming out of a car park.. I was so sure I wouldn't make it out of there
Everyone had to get out, and I bit the bullet and absolutely scraped everything to get out of there.

Looking smart mate. Mine was that filthy recently, just snow foamed it and it came up reasonably well!

Thanks! Yeah snowfoam is awesome, in the winter especially, but I find that it still leaves a thin film over the car, so I like to shampoo every now and then too

[Melvin084]

Where do you guys buy your gti grills and bupers from
I have been looking for one that fits my 1.4 fsi for so long!?

It generally will. Not sure what you use as an LSP but if you do it regularly it can remove all the dirt.. very much depends what snowfoam you use.. whether you use a cleaning one or a "show foam"

To be honest best thing I find is if you're strapped for time snowfoam the car, jet it down, snow foam it again and then use one bucket of clean water (as a rinse bucket) and just wash the car using the foam, as it can provide good lubrication. If you need more just foam the vehicle more.
I use Bilt Hamber Autofoam there is not a better wax safe snow foam out there 100%.
