Awesome! May have to pm you on that one soon.. only problem is i'm in london which is miiiles away. Might have to settle for one of these expensive garages.

do it yourselfffff lol

is there no one local that can help or anything mate?

white polo - i work full time too, actually have 2 jobs, a full time one and a part time one haha and the car is another in fairness haha, im not a jobless bum who does nothing all day haha

kchaha, get the miles built up and get it slammed, my polo drove straight from the dealers to awesome, had 9 miles on it iirc, awesome said best to get it straight on, as then the management and injectors, turbo etc would never of known any difference so the extra strain would not be felt by the engine

kenny, as for products, today i have spent most of my morning detailing, i went to a licenced zymol detailer for advice and a live demo on my car, to see what works and what does not

i ended up choosing to purchase a full zymol 'carbon' kit in its very own snazzy brief case, inside are the following products



Zymol Clear Auto Bathe
Zymol HD Cleanse
Zymol Vinyl (interior vinyls, satin/matt finish)
Zymol Treat (Leather feed and conditioner)
Zymol Gel Wheel Cleaner
Zymol Detail (exterior plastics)
Zymol Carbon Wax
Zymol Field Glaze

Zymol Horse Hair Detail Brush
Zymol Horse Hair Wheel Brush
Zymol Wax Applicators x 2
Zymol Foam/Microfiber Applicators x 2
Zymol Terry Towel
Zymol Micro Wipe

and i already have

Zymol Auto Wash
Zymol Cleaner Wax
Zymol Leather Cleaner

its fantastic stuff, i have cleaner wax'd the full car and the results are astonishing already, but i did spend 2 days doing this, then so far today i have done HD Cleanse on just the passenger wing and the bonnet and followed up with the Carbon, will get a picture up tomorrow, its good though, best i have ever ever had

woah bet that wasnt cheap!!

i used to use hd cleanse and their magical towels for drying! they are awesome!!

jeff matey im still trying to wang the miles on!! ive done just over 300 so far! trying to take it easy but its so damn slow!!! hahahah

yesterdays mods.... HID kit, led sidelights... suit the white-ness of the car... mmm... bright lights.... lol







running out of stuff to do now... gonna get bored again lol

looking good kc, now get it decked and get it up'd in performance, map tip exhaust pd160 n75j green filter forge braces, jabba roll bars

see loads to do yet mate

Where did ya get ur HIDs from kc? Lookin good mate

Think i mite invest in some zymol stuff since its as good as every1 says!

Get some pics Jeff!!

Jeff stop putting ideas in my head! lol

ill whack the map back on it as soon as i get to 500 miles, or even 1000 as ive not been giving it any abuse yet! lol

thanks kenny, i got the hid's from ebay! got them ages ago! lol

I only paid £50 for mine to be fitted

get it sorted kc mate haha

and kenny, its fantastic stuff mate, but pricey too, as for pics, cant yea, im nowhere near finished, it taked ages,

wash in zymol clear, dried with a zymol towel, zymol cleaner waxed all over, zymol hd cleanse all over, zymol carbon wax x 2 treatments to build depth and ensure complete coverage then finish with zymol field glaze, but as i say, it takes an age to do having to do it all in 12"x12" squares

so far all the car is done up to and including the hd cleanse stage and the bonnet, roof, taligate, front bumper, wingmirrors and both front wings have had the carbon waxed for the first time, so the rest needs doing, then the carbon process doing again then final glazing

...and then ....

i can do the detailing bits and the insides haha, fun fun fun

gonna look hot though when done, and when it is done, its getting a pro potoshoot .. cant wait

car is almost on its ass!

gonna bed the springs in at least a week before i take drop it again lol. not measured how much its lowered by... but as you can tell its much lower than before lol....

...rears are going down as soon as its a little settled lol

Looks awesome kc!!! Looks nice in the white! You got a pd160 intake?

Which tesco is that looks like the one down here!

looks dire
















only joking kc, looks champion

That looks spot on!

What coilovers are you using? Any catching yet?
