Traceys Grey Bagged MK5 - 14/02/16

[D_Philli_82]

100% xenons....so much better than standard lights..!!!

[MikLSP]

The other side if that is that they don't and actually look much worse, opinions vary ;-)
The light output is not in question but I think the xenon lamps look a bit grotesque

[Tracey]

Yeah I like the look of the xenons and the GTI lights... might get a pair around xmas!
Gave the car a big detail yesterday and today.
- Snow foam
- Dodo Juice Shampoo
- Dryed Car
- De-tar (was very bad)
- Meguires Clay Kit
- Coat of Britemax Polish
- 2 Coats of Britema Sealent
- Coat of Kleenfreaks wax

Some difference now from before... the De-tar and clay did a serious job.. Ill get some pictures later this evening when the battery for camera charges up

Have you Had it notched that should get you lower man? its looking good so far though, its looking really Clean too! did you do the chrome strip on your front grill yourself? i'm looking to colour the red strip, and wanted to go for chrome i didn't know if people wrap them or spray it, or even if you can buy a chrome strip?

[dom069]

My guess would be that it's your tyres stopping you from going lower, a smaller profile would probably sort it.

Try a wrap, more resilient.

The paint chips off with stones!
