Thats where I was, I was also an Ibiza virgin! lol Judgement Sunday is quality. Make sure you get lashed up before you go into Eden tho as its like 12euros a drink in there, and it can add up.

mabee this topic should be moved to club house

im keeping my beast garaged for the rough weather right now, im not planning any more mods if i can help it,

iv invested in some g10 and finesse-it along with some 2000 grit paper, im gonna remove some marks and fine scratches and polish the car up to perfection

its all minty clean waxed and polished up inside outside underneath and engine at the min, but theres always more

the only actual parts im really after is the cubby box with lid from vag parts and blue tinted mirror glasses, oh and to sort a tiny rattle on the dash, which i know what it is, so thats half the problem sorted already

My paint is also a mess aswell, not a happy bunny. Just like yours Kenny my front bumper,bonnet and front wings are peppered with small chips and the car isnt a year old yet.

Its not as if I do loads of motorway miles in bad weather either. Any little stone chip seems to take off a load of paint right down to the primer. Was told by a guy on detailing world that the Vw paint was meant to be super hard wearing but mine certainly aint.

Is your black the metallic black?

Flat paints like red and white will chip easier as they don't have as many layers of lacquer i think.

Hmmm must be cos its black, a thot that aswell cos my clio (black) never had any big chips.

Just need to take it to the body workshop if it gets really bad

Jeff GTi · Post by **Jeff GTi** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 8:07 pm

Yeah mines diamond black (or black magic as its known on the continent) its pearlesent paint so has more layers i expect

KennyPOLO_Gti · Post by **KennyPOLO_Gti** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:30 pm

Sometimes a wish a got it in the black. Only reason a got red was becos ma clio was black and wanted a change. Ohwell too late now, doubt they would do a refund lol

probably not now mate haha just keep an eye on it,

heres a trick for ya which may work better than painting it,

get yourself a red wax crayon and colour over the chips, it will bring it back to the surface and look less obvious than white primer or red paint splodges everywhere, then just buff off any excess you put on too much

i do this with a black one i got from halfords with some coloured polish/wax by turtle wax

granted the polish aint the worlds best, but do the crayon then use that polish over it and you will be suprised how good it looks and only costs about a 5er for a bottle which will out last you keeping the car ill bet too

i do mine once a week and it keeps it tip top lovely

Ill look into that, worth a try! So the crayons you get a Halfords a good matching colour? They got a wide range?
