Awesome rob, shall be following this, also just bought a gti! Great start. I've started on the exhausts, then il be on to the rear boot handle (also ww). I think my engine could do with a clean, do you just use all purpose cleaner then rinse it off with water?

Thanks Peskyjones  :smiley:

Yeah, to de-grease the engine bay, run the engine, APC cleaner, agitate with a detailing (like) brush and PW off. Carefully not over wetting any electrical areas. Wipe down with MF cloth and dress with a Plastic/rubber dressing if desired, job done  :happy2:

It's funny you should call me Rob, as that's my twin brothers name (true fact) :wink:

Cheers mate, I haven't mucked about on this one!

I got the grab handles on Ebay, genuine parts. Link here:

Couple more little jobs done  :smiley:

Gti wrench handle inserts.

DSCN1281 by rogfree43, on Flickr

And the fuel release switch upgrade.

Old one removed.

DSCN1286 by rogfree43, on Flickr

I managed to pull the connector out of the bottom of the door, without taking the whole door card off!

DSCN1288 by rogfree43, on Flickr

And new one installed.

DSCN1290 by rogfree43, on Flickr

Better  :smiley:

I may see if I can replace the surround as it's a bit scruffy..

I also gave the car, a very quick 2 bucket wash to see how it looks now..

DSCN1354 by rogfree43, on Flickr

DSCN1353 by rogfree43, on Flickr

DSCN1355 by rogfree43, on Flickr

DSCN1351 by rogfree43, on Flickr

Looks ok, but is in desperate need of some machine polishing.

More to come soon.. :happy2:
