Ashcroft's 6n2 GTI: NEW WHEELS!!! P27 Pic heavy!!!

[Ashcroft]

Thanks Phil, some nice shots we got between us all.

All mine will look poor from the iPhone

[Ashcroft]

So I haven't been on here in a while...

I decided to clean up the engine bay and paint a few bits, here's a few pics






What we all think of the blue?? Thinking of having a colour change sometime in the near future

The heat shield is work in progress it got late and I got bored but will probably finish it over the coming weeks

Also decided to finally change the pollen filter

Found all this build up underneath haha

Thought I'd give it a good wash and got some black wax while I was at it



I've also bagged myself some cheap RX2's the weekend


Planning on changing tyres over to these on Saturday so I can start on doing the refurb on my others myself

[Joycey]

looking good mate, gutted my car wasn't able to be included in the polo group pics, i'll make sure im definately there next time, just need some better weather for it

[P mk4]

Nice little update mate I think you should keep with the red theme respray the rocker cover red and it will look taste like my face haha game for a meet next monthishhh ? I want to start on my engine bay buy off on holiday on Thursday. Sorted out your lights yet

[Ashcroft]

Thanks Ben! You should defo join us on the next meet it was a good laugh

Thanks Phil rocker cover will get painted red the blue is just a thought as all the GTI's are red so I'm just toying with the idea of changing all to blue
No I haven't sorted the lights yet but I might clean them up the weekend, I need to find myself another sharan rear badge to go back chrome but I want to keep the colour coded insert I need a new chrome GTI grill badge too for my new grill them I'll probably clean it all in 1 hit

When you back from holiday dude? We need to sort another meet out soon for sure

Looking good Luke I think switching to blue would be a nice choice, silver & blue seems to work so well

I remember seeing a Silver GTI at Castle Combe with Blue RXII's (chrome lip) and it look quality.

Have you got a link for that black wax mate? Is it like a bumper care/back to black stuff?

[Ashcroft]

I like the thought of silver and blue, I think if you get the right shade of blue it's a perfect combo

Sorry Ben I don't have a link as I bought it ages ago from halfords I believe but here's a pic



It's good stuff mate! Spread all over the trim leave for a bit and then buff it off makes a big difference

[6N2 GTI 00]

Cheers Luke that's great mate i'll have a look next time i'm at Halfords

[Ashcroft]

No problem Ben
It really is great stuff I use it on all my plastics when I clean the car

[Ashcroft]

Well chuft with my little polo today!

Had a group rolling road day today and this is my read out

[rover220]

That's a nice figure assuming the rr is reliable.

[Ashcroft]

Few people had a lot less than expected so I think everyone had mixed views really, I was surprised as all I've done is the K&N Typhoon and my mates polo GTI had 117 standard

[rover220]

Sounds like a good result. Over 140 and i would have said the rr is out however your figure is perfectly believable.

[Ashcroft]

Yeh 140 I wouldn't have believed it at all lol
Am happy tho just next time should have manifold. Cat and a map

[Trottagti]

Good result that, mine was 140bhp before my map so you will 100% see over 140 like me with the de cat and manifold etc......
