Ohh nice! :).  Let me know how you get on with it.  I was actually thinking of trying one myself before I went over my car with the DA again :)

I'll be reet! I do that many cars and never get time to do my own :surprised:. The mitt is supposed to be so much quicker and easier than a clay bar. Plus, last a lot longer. You'll see pictures on FB, before you do on here :happy2:

Just some quick updates. I've booked my exhaust to be done for May 10th :grin: Full 2 1/2 inch sports system with decat and a tiny backbox with twin polished tips. Can't wait to hear it and see it :drool:. Also, i've sold some of my detailing stuff, so i'll hopefully be booking my wheels in for refurb in a different colour, soon.

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:

so, I've had my custom exhaust fitted. Sounds awesome, look's great and seems more responsive. Then today I go out to my car, to take it to my friend who is fitting my new VRS brakes, subwoofer and a pre-mot, and what do I find..... A bloody puncture!! :surprised:. Will get pictures up when everything is done :happy2:

Here's some pictures of my new exhaust system. I would highly recommend Topgear Stockport for any performance work or custom exhaust systems on your cars. Excellent customer service, and great work :happy2:

Thanks Stan :happy2:

Well it turns out the calipers are the same size as the ones I already have and the discs were the completely wrong ones. So no new brakes :sad1:
