Thanks for the comments.

These are my winter wheels (Audi sport).

Pirelli wheels are in the garage, probably should put them back on now it's abit milder.

Get the wheels on and some pictures up  :happy2: don't see many of these at all!

Out of curiosity, what cleaning products do you use?

Also the gti part you have for the seat handles the bloke on eBay can make some with pirelli on them I've spoke to him about them and he will make them to order but I don't have the spare cash at the mo as getting married. But they would look loads better and be unique !

Car cleaning routine:-
1. Rinse.
2. Magifoam snow foam.
3. Rinse.
4. Dodo BTBM (born to be mild) 2 bucket method, BAL mixing buckets from topps tiles ideal for this. 22.5Litre for £5.49.
5. Rinse + Ultra plush MF dry.
6. 1 layer Auto Glym SRP.
7. 1 layer Dodo Purple Haze wax.

Couldn't finish the plastic / rubber as my friend has stolen my Chem. Guys. New look trim gel.  :sad1:

Needs a good clay though, paint feels rough.

Pirelli inserts for the seats would be nice, please can you post his ebay username for me (cannot see PM's yet).

I've seen one locally through a trader. Silver 5dr 54k miles. 1 lady owner from new. Is £12k asking price about right?

Not sure, depends on spec, condition, history.

I paid 13.4K for mine 12 months ago from an independent dealer.

It had 33K miles on when I bought it, now on 38K.

Welcome! Black is such a rewarding colour to look after, and yours looks like you know it!  :congrats:
Still in love with mine 2 years on. 39k on the clock now, many years of ownership left.  :love:

Gone but not forgotten :-)

Thanks,  :happy2:

Need to clean the mats then I can put a few interior pics up.

I Dont get much spare time, but I need to find some to fit all the bits i've purchased as the house is starting to look like a garage!
 
Got:-
OEM Xenon's + Kufatec adaptors.
Headlight washer system inc 5L bottle (all new), Level sensor + Kufatec loom.
Xenon level sensors, controller + Kufatec loom.
Xenon interior light level switch.
Highline Clocks.
Highline CCCM.
Folding Mirrors.

All I need to find now is a Pirelli Manual MFSW, although I may be waiting a long time for that.

Will probably end up with a GTI MFSW which I will Re-trim, maybe with some alcantara sections and yellow stiching.
