Scirocco Central

Pics tomorrow Devil - today I took him to a wedding and i noticed a few heads turning and my silver machine swooshed through the Kent countryside
That said I parked in a large car park in Gravesend (site of my pal Tom's wedding) and there were not two but three rocs in the car park - a silver 59, and a white 11, both looked stunningly well looked after too
Any takers ?

Pics of penguin tomorrow - he's not house trained yet !

I bought these over the weekend


will be hopefully fitting them this week sometime. Will get some pics up of fitting and what they look like ..

we took the twins out for a drive...

Walter at work - not immaculate as he's done 150 miles since the pre winter clean but they were dry miles !
No pics of the roc hopper - took them earlier but they came out rubbish !
Got to get the wheels off this coming weekend as there's some nasty sticky black stuff just beyond reach of my wheel woollies & I want to get a decent coat of protection on the rims before the council start they're annual salting !

Just had a new tyre and my wheel chipped by kwikFit . ........ They said they're going to cover the cost of the repair tho so at least that's something suppose ...

Thats really tedious. Like you say at least they'll cover the cost but its still hassle.

First MOT done...but it needed a new tyre. Tax disc removed. 30,000 mile service done.
Rear Cup holder installed (thanks to Lee's how to guide).

Next is a deep clean but I'm still reading up on everyone's cleaning techniques to get the best method!

AMG - look at White Devil - he's obsessive !!! Welcome to the world of cleaning friend !

I LOVE cleaning my car mate! With it being white I don't get as much satisfaction as I have done with previous cars which have always been a darker colour.

But then again, I've never done it "properly" as there seems to be so many different methods and stages etc. I'll search his posts and see what I can find. Thanks

Unfortunately I've been subjected to one of these while mime is at vw getting a couple of scrapes to the drivers door sill repaired that wasn't spotted in the PDI (or caused by the dealer) and a rattle that's recently appeared.

Id walk home

At least it wasn't an Up.

I have a feeling I'm going to appreciate getting back in the scirocco even more now. I get a whole different kind of stare from other drivers in the tank.

Guess it could be worse... It could be pink with flowers on the dash!

Gave my inside a going over.
Cleaned the leather seats.
Then gave under the bonnet a quick going over.
Cleaned the glass and thats it.

Tomorrows job is give it a wash.

That's it he says
Just a quick 2bm this evening BUT in anticipation of removing all the wheels tomorrow in prep for winter I removed all of my alloy wheel nut covers washed them down with G101 and a tooth brush then gave them a quick once over with some chemical Guys plastic treatment gel - even remembered to separate the lockers from the non (on a zip tie) and left off until I've finished tomorrow - which I believe will be a LONG day cleaning - with maybe a break for cutting the lawn

BTW AMG - there is no correct method if at the end of the day the car is clean and you are happy ! But expect to spend some serious wedge obtaining "happy" !

So you have been cleaning your wheel nut covers with a toothbrush and yet you call me obsessive ..

Sounds like a plan you have for tomorrow. I need to do a winter detail but cba. I might either just wash the car tomorrow or take the wheels off one by one and wash and protect them with my wheel wax auto finesse mint rims. Hmmmm...

3 hours later and I finally installed the first mod on my car. Installed the forge twintake. Loving the look of cf in my engine bay.

was trying to see how eco-friendly I could drive this morning.

Had to take out my license plate LED's and put my OEM ones back in due to them flickering. When i inspected them, a couple of the LED's were not working on both. They lasted only a couple of months.
