Ben's Civic EP3 CTR - 255bhp NA

[6N2 GTI 00]

Last pic is my favourite, looking very good!

I do like silver, but sometimes wish I had gone for a black GTI...

Cheers
GTI's look good in any colour but I have always loved black cars so had to get a black one.
Only problem with black cars is they show up any slight spec of dirt so you have to keep on top of them with the cleaning side.

Your motor looks sooo good! i really love Black 6n2.
i really like the work thats gone into it

Thanks

I gave it another good clean on the weekend so its still looking good at the moment, finally ordered some of the Collinite 476 wax from Elite car care so if the weather stays reasonable it should be getting a couple of coats of that stuff this weekend.

Yeah, you'll love that collinite stuff, i'd recommend putting it all over the car and give it a good 20 minutes to "cure" before taking it off, give it a couple coats if possible, looks so nice after!

Im obsessed with elite at the moment, rewired my mums garage on saturday so instead of payment got her to get me £60 worth of stuff off there another big clean at the weekend if the weather stays alright!

Yeh Godderz the old caper is right.Definately worth leaving it about 10-15 mins to cure.It can be abit more difficult to remove but it's well worth it for the beading/amount of time it lasts.Definately outlasts the dodo juice i used to use.

Get some pics up of it dude once you've blazed it.

Cheers Lads Can't wait to get started! I'm away in Bristol this weekend so unfortunately the big clean will have to be put on hold for a week.

That Klasse Polish is also difficult to remove if you leave it on there for a few mins, its most definately a 1 panel at a time polish.

I'll post some pics once its been waxed

Looks great dude!

Cant beat a black smoothed bumper

You do need to let the collinite cure, like any wax.

Apply it on the whole car, leave it for 10 mins then wipe off.

Once cured it is harder to get it off, but if your struggling mist on some water, it'll help.

Thanks for the advice with the Collinite too, can't wait to get started on it now

Made a few new Purchases to the GTI in the last 2 weeks.

I will post some pics of all the bits once they have been delivered

Got some new BBS stainless steel Valve caps to compliment the RXII's as the plastic Iron Cross caps I have on there now look pretty awful. I also just won a set of BBS Carbon centre caps for the wheels too, I have wanted a set for ages but never had the balls to spend £35 on them. I did today though and although feeling like I have been raped i'm sure they will look cool. Got a new Rear VW badge with Black painted insert also ready to go on the car.

If anybody needs a set of virtually new VW's centres (56mm) in mint condition then let me know
They are over £25.00 for a new OEM set and I will let these go for £15.00 posted so feel free to PM me.

I got myself a Shark Fin Aerial too and some nice new products from Elite Car Care
Collinite 476S Wax finally turned up today, along with a set of new buckets (inc grit guards), another drying towel and a few microfibre cloths. Just praying the weather is good on the weekend so I can finally get cracking with the Collinite

I agree totally mate, its all the little bits that make a big difference
Cleaning should commence this weekend dude depending on the weather.

Alex is getting back to me with the quote soon because he messaged me yesterday, I will PM you the lower honey combe grill price as soon as I get the quote.

[Godderz23]

Thanks dude.

Small Update 19/09/2010

Nothing major to announce, just made a few purchases in last 2 weeks to freshen up the GTI.
I was hoping to give it a major clean this weekend but its been raining pretty much continously so that ended that one.

Here's a few pics of the new goodies

New Sharkfin Aerial (needs to be sprayed before fitment)


New Rear Badge - with black insert


New BBS Centre Caps (56mm) for the RXII's

I think they look a little better than the VW one's, especially on a Black GTI.


BBS Valve Caps


Couple of new stickers


Set on New Bosch/VW Aero Wipers (fitted these 2 weeks ago now and their great!)



Collinite 476S Wax & Application Kit



New Drying Towel from Elite Car Care


New Bucket Set from Elite (including Grit Guards)



Some more Klasse German Polish from Elite


Some more Xerapol Plastic Polish (This is the stuff I use on the Xenon lenses)


New VAGCOM lead


Got some major plans for next year, the biggest being Schrick cams & custom map.
Still saving at the moment but nearly there now. Other plans for next year include:
- Ronal LS Rims (15x7.5J)
- Spacers 20mm Rear & 15mm Front
- Fitment of Manifold & Full De-cat
- K&N typhoon Induction Kit with Custom intake
- Respray to the Bonnet, Front bumper, splitter & both front wings.
- Roof Vinyl Wrap (custom design)

[Godderz23]

Nice update dude, plans sounds very good, get them done by next year, ready for the shows

[Bradley]

Nice little update matey,the fin is definately a grower once its sprayed and fitted after a few weeks you wonder why you didn't fit one months ago.

[Godderz23]

What's the reception like on them Bradley? My VW sharan one is pretty rubbish to be fair.
