Good progress Jake! Gutted about the rear springs man

Same thing applies mix the basecoat with a little clear coat. Add activator and it will dry gloss ;)

Nice work Jake - looks like the car is coming along well. Are the seats still bugging you?
Like the spacers - have thought about some for mine, but still not sure. Did you fit a set on the front as well?

[cuprajake]

Getting used to the Seats now,

Just got the rear spacers fitted. I may buy some for the front but 10mm ones are more expensive than 15mm

Hey guys

Well I finished off the golf today,

The process:

3m fast cust plus on Indasa yellow compound pad
3m fast cut plus on 3m yellow pad
3m yellow top on 3m yellow pad
3m ultrafina on soft pad.
Autoglym hd wax
Autoglym fast glass
Autoglym rubber dressing
303 aerospace dressing
Autoglym tyre dressing

The results, I'm super happy with. The bonnet looks chinless as do the wings which was my intention.

Here are some pics.

All the pics are direct off the camera, no ps.

When I got home I decided to do under the bonnet, this is we're things went a bit south. The filler neck rubber sat strange, so I had a quick look at it,

The full thing came off I my hands

That's some form of decorators silicone, used I presume to stick it back in place, it's actually broken the manifold where it attaches, luckily the cap can go back on direct, what it does mean is I am now going to make an intake.

That aside a very productive day.

Car is looking great mate.... (except the oil filler)

[cuprajake]

Cheers rich.

Thanks for the recommendation on the springs

[rich83]

They look lower than mine.... could be the spacers.

[prp74]

[cuprajake]

I only have 15mm on the rear fronts still stock. Thinking 10mm at the front

[JaseGti]

Cleans up well

[Shorty]

[GrayMK5GTI]

They look lower than mine.... could be the spacers.

I noticed that when comparing to mine. Spacers do make it look lower

[cuprajake]

Pressed plates ordered, for my reg j44kxe

Tempted to make another intake too now.
