#1: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 4:56 am ---- Picked it up Friday and it was what I would call filthy, started cleaning it yesterday but the heavens opened on me, not one to give up I was out at 10pm last night putting on SRP(super resin polish) and buffing it off, then sprayed it with some megs quick detailer for a bit of extra shine, I think in the long run to get her looking better I'll need to machine polish it to get all the swirls off etc, anyhow here's a few pics

#4: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:12 am ---- looking good mate, saw this on auto trader site and it certainly looked mint and bonus it being in black
#5: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:14 am ---- The black is growing on me, and yeah it's not too bad, only thing wrong I can see is it needs a new passenger wing mirror other than that it's in decent nick

#9: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:52 am ---- The black one was cheaper that was the only factor Lee(paying for a wedding and honeymoon has put a budget on me :-(...), and cheers nickst, and regarding the difference quarmbo, in low revs the 138 feel perkier when driving normal, when you put your foot down the 180 feels alot quicker, also handles better and feels a bit more planted, not a massive difference but enough to notice
#10: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:54 am ---- Ah right fair enough then (=
Still looks a very tidy car and im sure if you carry on how you are it will be a minter again. You enjoying it then? How much did you insurance change by?
#11: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:57 am ---- My insurance was roughly the same, the missus didn't want to be a named driver this time though
#12: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:59 am ---- Not bad then, oh right, how come?
#13: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 7:01 am ---- She only drove my gti about 3 times in 3 years so not really worth it, she's fully comp on her car so she will be covered 3rd party if she ever drives mine
#14: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 7:08 am ---- Ah right, id have thought it would bring your insurance down having a girl on the policy though? It made a difference to my dad's policy on the evo when he added his misses to it. When he was sorting his renewal out, they only had him on it and when he added his misses it dropped by about £150, and he asked why and they said oh woman on the policy its a calming influence. Yer right, if he decides to boot it is she really gonna try and stop anything or just hold on for life haha.
#15: Re: Few pics after first clean Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 7:10 am ---- Haha oh well I was happy as it was literally the same as I was paying for the normal gti so it's all good
