As I've said before, most of my money is in my MK1 cabby at the moment, so here's my thread for that:

But I have been getting along slowly with the MK5.
First of all I finally got rid of this steering wheel.

At the moment, I have no airbag for my new wheel, but that'll be the first thing once the MK1 is back on the road.

So this is what I'm faced with for now.

I plan on getting GTI seats at some point, so I thought I'd add some dark details to the interior to tie in with that.
First off is the fabric on the door cards, it's light grey, so I bought a black door card from a Jetta and swapped the fabric.
New handles and chrome switches are on the list too

Here's the result.. I'll take some before and afters at some point

Did some more parking next to standard MK5s

Then I got her into the MK1's garage while the MK1 was failing MOTs, and attempted a full detail.
I spent 3 hours doing the back, and couldn't handle any more, so I'll get round to that at some point.

I went for a snow foam with Auto Finesse Avalanche, then some Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild shampoo, followed by a claying, a dual action polishing with Menzerna FG and Meguiars 205.. Just using the Meguiars up, but it's not bad stuff!
Then 2 layers of Poorboy's Black Hole glaze, and a layer of Autoglym EGP.
I'll add some layers of wax when the weather is decent, and I'll give the rest of the car this treatment the same time

It was rainy, and I didn't get any pictures until I'd done a good few miles, but it looks a lot better after all that.

Will get some good pictures when I clean her next.

Out of focus much?

One of my nightbreakers broke in the night, so I fitted some Nokya yellow high beams, I figured if I don't like them, I can always change back.
They're quite subtle, and you can only see the yellow from a certain height. I like.
