1st November 2011 I decided to take some care of her. She got a oil and filter change along with a cambelt kit including water pump from my friends at TRD (www.turnerracingdevelopments), cant recommend them enough!

I am currently changing the crap ballasts that the previous owner put on the car to OEM ones.
Here is the current state of the wiring:

Post by: neil86 on January 16, 2012, 09:37:30 pm: Hi, there some works gone into that wrap, i have done a few bits myself only small, i want to do my front grill but really struggling. How do you manage to do a larger area without bits of dust or it sticking to itself.

Any advice would be great????
Title: Re: Bikerz - Golf Mk5 GT TDI
Post by: Bikerz on January 17, 2012, 09:04:32 am: Clean car dont wax of polish or anything, just a blank clean.
Put in body shop oven heat to approx 30C and de-grease the panels with degreaser or your mrs best window cleaner :happy2:
It was in abody shop oven with extractors on so no dust in there as they spray the cars in there, Im lucky enough to have some great mates!
Its deffinatley a 2 man job, and 3 at times would have been useful.
Mirrors are going to be re done as they arnt great (or might buy some real carbon ones)

Post by: neil86 on January 17, 2012, 03:22:26 pm: Oh well am stuck there dont have a body shop lol. Got the wrap just don't want to do it again an balls it up. Using hexis is decent stuff.
