Finally...

[Randall]

Hey All,

I am finally sorting out some bits for my car apart from cleaning stuff Woo Hoo! Its been a long time since ive actually done something with the car so heres whats happening

1. Ordered some new terminal screws for my sub (those who remember n those that dont - Vibe BlackAir II 15")
2. Ordered me a Box for my sub
3. Ordered some gold banana plugs

So hopefully with the help of my mate (dab hand @ tuning amps) i should have this in the car for GTI INTERS

4. The car needs a full clean up shortly too

Then at the end of the month if all goes well i shall have ordered me a HID conversion kit (thanks to alex for sorting out the discounts/GB) and then in a couple of months time a orbital car polisher if the price is right

I canni wait

Nice one Rich, be good to hear some sounds coming from your car instead of just seeing the kit in it

You can finally see/hear mine then as well.

[Randall]

Yes it'll be cool to finally see/hear your sounds and to think about it all of your ideas came floating out of last years GTI INTERS when we checked out the sound off area!

That movie van was ACE

Well im trying to wash my car (but it keeps bloody raining) as GTI INTERS is nearly on the door step and stood back for a few seconds and had a thought or two (yes im sat down so i wont hurt myself)

If i got my ass into gear and tidied up all the lil digs n bits on my polo e.g. de-swirlled, filled bonnet recess, resprayed front n rear bumper etc i could potentially have a very nice vehicle. So lets start with the front



anyone notice any differences while we got a pic up?! (its something ive had laying around for a bloody long time but have never got round to it)

[MaxZ]

GTi Splitter?

[Randall]

Well done that man! Top marks for you

Rich

P.S. just for those who dont know i actually picked this up from Silky_V in Jan 06 so hasnt taken me that long to fit it

[ModifiedMadness]

Looking good now you've finally got it on Rich, the plans sounds good too. Even if it's only the recess you get done.

[Randall]

right im knackered

1. soaked
2.washed
3.clayed
4.washed
5.polished





Next weekend i'll add another layer or polish n hopefully some wax. Oh and the wheels n interior can wait till next weekend or the one after

The results from the detail look good, Rich

What polisher are you getting?

[alexperkins]

looking good mate! I need to get me some of this clay lol gave mine a good wash and wax earlier. Looks stunning as it always seems to when you wash it hehe. I need some alloys now hehe :D

[Randall]

Hey Ollie - thanks for the comments dude!

Well theres two that floating the horizon: -

1. UK version of the PC (www.cleanmycar.co.uk & polishedbliss keep speaking about it)
2. Biletma dual head orbital polisher (i think thats how its spelt)

All the details are on DW forum

Rich

P.S. i got a box of 4" pads sat under me bed from last year wen i was going to get one but never did lol

[alexperkins]

Is that the bosch aerotwin retrofit wipers i see, or are they the proper aero wiper kit?

[Randall]

Alex - This is one of the original aero wiper conversion kits. 2 x Front offside wiper arms from a Lupo/9n and the blades

There are kits which make it alot easier now

[alexperkins]

Ahh yes thought so. Hmm maybe i should go down the scrappy get another set of 9n wipers. I got one set - i could make a complete proper kit from two hehe.

Currently ive got the bosch aerotwins - makes such a difference to the standards ill give you that!

Cant wait to see that bonnet recess filled - itll look the dogs when its done

[Ollie_R]

Yeah, I'll be getting the Ultimate Detailing Machine soon, I think it's £99 for the basic kit; bargain!

The Biltema's pretty good too
