Regarding car care, you're right with the sealant being last; the Wolfgang gear you have is meant to be very good and durable as well. Just a tip regarding the Bilt-hamber clay, you only need about a quarter of the whole bar when you're using it, and it's a good idea to keep it warm, by kneading it and having a bowl of warm water nearby. Also you don't need a dedicated lube for it, you just use a spray bottle with water in it.

@Kipper - It works whenever it likes atm, will see what it is like after the bodyshop have taken the handle out. Any tips on fitting would be greatly appreciated though
Just been out adjusting the coilovers so the i get less scrubbing on the inside arch plastic, which has mostly already burnt away
Thanks, Haris

They are from clubpolo> Jackson tuning section from Phil J. They are evo coilovers from germany and come with a 2year warranty, seem to be good quality for the price.kipper wrote:h4r1s where did u get your coilies from and how much? are they a good brand?

I've been down to the bodyshop to see what it is looking like, here are some pics



Really liking the indent being filled, i think it looks well good, gives it that meaner look without taking too much of the oem-ness away
I hope he finishes it for edition 38
knowing my luck he'll finish it one day after edition 38 finishes 
Thanks, Haris

yup unfortunately, he is taking the absolute p*** now, it's a complete joke. When i got a quote he told me it would take a week, then before giving the car to him i made sure, by asking him again that it would be done by next week. His excuse has been that he is working on it between other jobs, but he reckons he will have it done by saturday, he's had it for a whole month now
and if it's not done by monday i'm just going to drive off with it and get it done somewhere else
