Collected the car from the guys at Midlands Car Care....

The paint was in dire need of some TLC after 10 months of neglect.  Im really really happy with it.  Looks mega shiny in the sun today.

Ill let the pictures do the talking  :innocent:













Massive thanks to the guys at MCC they were mega accommodating with drop off & collection.  As I weas working around my holiday.  Offered every service from 'consultation', dint removal, maintenance washing through to full paint correction & protection, wheel refurbishing, wrapping.... You get the idea.

I had a couple of interior bits wrapped while it was there to add to the gloss black details;

('Scuse iPhone pics)





One more pic whore moment, from one of the updates MCC sent me during polishing



Ok, Ok. Last one...

is that a small child I see which has grown whilst the car has been at aks? the foetus has gestated in the warm surroundings of the cupra and been subjected to more mods than a child could comprehend...

looking a lot morew shiny than when i saw it looking all glum... :happy2:
