So not actually posted on my own thread for a while so thought I'd start over.
Pretty much a year ago now I was waiting to pick up my lovely new roc.
Can't belive iv had her a year now .
A few mods are on the list and also taken place nothing major though.
Here's a pic not long after I got her that a mate took for me

Then came the good old pin stripe vinyl,
I first went red on the bottom grill but then decided to go orange and went abit crazy,
Quite like it on both parts somthing abit different ,
When I get round to it the calipers are also going orange
The main thing that's got me over the last year is detailing, iv gone from occasionally cleaning my car to having bags of gear and religiously cleaning her. The detailing bug has bit hard.
Here's just a bit of the gear
Since Christmas the piles got even bigger including samples of the full angel wax wax collection
A new foamer bottle & a set of wheel woollies
So as part of the bug I treated myself to a DA Polisher ,
As I'm no pro and only wanted somthing simple and easy to use I went for a DAS 6
After a quick blast on the front bumper changes were already becoming apparent
Next up are the wheels, there booked in for a refurb in the next couple of weeks, wanted to change there colour but they are also curbed so a nice refurbed set will be done
Haha no not tried vision yet still getting through my G Technique stuff,
have tried most of the other stuff. Yeah H2GO is brilliant does smell abit like Vodka in a bottle though
Looks good ash...did you rub down all the chrome first or just go straight on with primer? I want to do my vw badges black but quite like the 2.0tsi badge as well and held off doing them for contrast between black and chrome.
I bought the vw badges already done from a fellow user,
The 2.0 yes I sanded down with wet dry just to take the shine off the chrome.
Iv just put the last coat of laquer on and then I'll get it back on the car and then it's just the T to do.
As you I really wanted black badges but wasn't keen on keeping the 2.0 chrome and also didn't want to get rid, so hence going down this route, I'll post more pics when back on pal.
All finished, Excuse the dirt and photo quality, Colours come out nice pleased with the spray job, looks abit weird in pics but nice and glossy real life , At the moment I'm happy leaving the SI red.
