Cheers for the comments :happy2: To clean the exhaust I used metal polish and a fine sanding pad for the really stubborn dirt.

Not much of a update. managed to talk my mum n dad into buying me a DA polisher as a early birthday present. Hopefully in next couple of weeks going to get metal/chromed light, mirror and window switches depending on how much money I have left after paying the road tax :scared:

The new toy.
 

After using DA.








Cheers Mike.

looking good,
maybe add the miltek non resonated exhaust system, they add a great touch to the car.
and a brilliant sound too !  :happy2:

How did you find the da pro and auto finesse kit?
I got the same gear through the post the other day.

Tracey if you have a search there was an old group buy on detailing world and the code still works, I got mine for £100 with free delivery.

Thanks for the comments. DA kit was off cleanyourcar. Paying the tax this weekend  :sad1: Hopefully going to have enough pennies left to buy window & light switches. As much as I like Milltek exhaust Personally I think there a little raspy I prefer Scorpion exhaust as they have a deeper burble. Got a quick video of doing my new favourite activity :grin:.

Finally got around to buying the chrome switches as the old ones were poop. Also got a tyre valve replaced that had a slow leak but the garage I took it took didn't put the wheel nut covers back on :mad: Got a list of jobs that need doing: New rear discs n pads, parcel shelf replacing, top air vent replacing.

Old vs New:

Looks great, awesome colour. Sounds even better!

Where did you get the switches from? Easy to fit too?

Nice touches! The small ones make the difference IMO.

Thanks for the comments. The switches are off ebay and are a bit fiddly to fit. a little progress has been made, the rear discs n pads are getting replaced next friday by a vw specialist, costing £265 with genuine vw parts. Also prepped the paint for winter with gtechniq exo v2.
