My New 9n 1.4 FSI Sport **Really Pic Intensive**

Post by PHILIP1193 »

Hey Guys,

Thought it was time i stopped askign question about my car and finally get round to sticking some pics up of it :roll: .

Having had it for a week i really do love it, the garage i got it from was meant to of valeted it before i got it but, tbh what ever he did it looked s**t. So this week end has been spent grafting on it. Inside and out, nwo it looks as new as the day it left the show room. Then again it shoudl do with only 19k miles on the clock lol.

Spent 4 hours on the exterior alone and then 2 hours on the interior. :? lol

Anyway to the pics

This is how it was pre wash, looking dirty from all the rain

Quick rinse and a clean of the wheels

Then after been dried and polished

it didn't come quite that bad, but not far from it :evil: .

Plans are lowering by 30mm initally then we'll see. Not one for modding my cars a lot tbh, the car as it is looks good as it is, i like the alloys too, even if they are a bit small :lol: .

Been a sport it comes with a couple more extra's than normal too, albeit it most of them on the interior. Iv changed the grill to the chrome one and done the cubby box mod too. Also got a shorter s2000 ariel but that it .

Got some better from components to fit too.

But i think it looks good OEM though :) .

true de-badging is something i thought of but forgot to put :P .

The sport is 15mm lower supposidly, but its the fact its not a bouncy ride i most like.

Hi Mate,
Thanks for the kind comments makes it all worth while :D
Well ill give you the process of what i did and what i use, the wax is one thing but i thin other things like the actual car wash bubbly stuff i use helps too.

Anyway.

Rinse with water from pressure washer (cleaned under arches etc)

Wash with Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner (gold stuff is best, the purple cheaper stuff goes off and i recon is crap) during this process i use meguiars Super Thick Microfibre Wash Mitt

Rinse with pressure washer again

Use some bug and tar removal stuff (if i need it)

Polished with autoglym super resin polish

Apply the meguiars NXT Spray Wax (i use spray wax as i getter a better even covering as it quicker to apply) although from using i advise masking window edges where black rubber is.

Hope that helps
