Spent a full day machine polishing the Jetta over the bank holiday weekend :smiley: Looks even more sexier now :drool:
Got gloss? :happy2:
Also went camping in Wales :smiley:

So excited to get my exhaust done now! Only another week and a bit to go :jumping:

What headlight bulbs are you running?

@White91 - Ultra xenon style bulbs, About £8 off Ebay. Excellent light output and really nice looking.

So the Jetta has gone into storage until December. It's getting a reconditioned turbo (any recommended companies?), new oil cooler & new oil sensor. Then (I'm really hoping so) I hope I'll have no more problems for a long while, as this year has completely killed me!

Will post more updates as and when they come along :)

Not long until I get my Christmas bonus off work! Then I should (hopefully) be able to book it in for repair. I honestly can't wait!

Maxitrol - Thanks. I did get some GTI headlights, but had to sell them and put the money towards getting the Jetta fixed :(.

I'm genuinely amazed I haven't seen this thread before! Your car is really epic, and I can't get over how good the classix look in gloss black, kind of regret selling mine off now!!!
