What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Crafoo]

Looks good, spoiler in black might have looked good too?

Cheers I was in 2 minds if to paint spoiler or not. Can always get it painted.

 

[Crafoo]

Just give it a quick Photoshop first, saves wasting money if you don't like it Sets the car off nice though, good choice fella

 

[CJcupra]

Nice nice get em on and post a picture fittted!

ROTA DRIFT GRID Wheels fitted now:





I thought it was going to be a tight fit but they are perfect. With the 225tyres on there is slight stretch but looks mean!

...Couldn't be bothered with the useless tar remover I have....

...Only down side is that it doesn't last too long. But for 11.95 off eBay for a big bottle....

Sounds like you gave the car a serious clean, Shnazzle!

For tar remover I have ObliTARate by Auto Finesse, it's ridiculously good stuff, and quite cheap!

As for the "Doesn't last too long" issue, try Gtechniq C1.5 SiloSeal... it will last easily 6 months from two layers, and sprays on/wipes off just as easy as water would!

Hmm...that's good beading! Might give that a try as well.
What I might try is both...

When I use wax it seems to make the paintwork look ****, it leaves streaks and its a nightmare to get rid of!

A) Don't apply it in direct sunshine.
B) Might be very hard wax you're using
C) I can still recommend the CodeClean stuff if you're looking for a soft wax that buffs right off but leaves amazing results

 

[Jarre]

I'm using some liquid stuff, can't remember the name to be honest. I've also used some BMW one my parents got given when they've bought cars in the past, this is also just a spray on wax

Find out what it is, so we can avoid it!

Picked car up today after having the roof painted high gloss black.

That looks awesome - and I like the spoiler in silver.

Wish my car had a sunroof... first car I've ever had without one!

Got myself a set of wing mirror covers off eBay, bought each side individually, but got the pair for £30.
going to wrap them in carbon fibre to match the grill.
Didnt fancy wrapping my original covers

 

[tony323ci]

drove to Birmingham airport then flew to Holland

 

[RY4N]

Changed the stock rear wiper arm to the facelift aero one, was a pain to get off, pulled and pulled, applied wd 40, pulled some more. Left it an hour and went back ready to pull hard again, came straight off almost sending me flying

 

[Magicsky]

Lol

Auto glym HD wax, goes on so easy and comes off a dream!!
The pot will last as long as your car, you only need a tiny amount on a damp sponge!! It is the daddy!! This is my reflection in my driver side rear door after HD waxing.

I totally agree. Used it for two months and love it. Its actually funny when your car self dries while you drive.

 

[Pss53]

HD wax would be wasted on a white car I think, demon shine does well for mine...
