Something like the P1 polish and I'd personally go for a sealant on that colour (non metallic IIRC)

hit up cleancar.ie

Nicer products, used rightly will give better results.

lookin sweet lad,LOWER AT THE BACK

 

[VentoDub]

Thanks lads

Can't go lower at the back or itl be rubbin like mad ha . . . jus enough clearance now, any lower and there wont be comfort to drive daily

Sound mossey i'l look inta that stuff so thanks

And my centres came with the wheels ventopower...prob are same size... 16's x 8s and 9s 195 stretches all round, goin 185 at the front soon tho.

 

[VentoDub]

Sadly this i gonna be abruptly stopped for a while now. Jus got the big call in for a nice cruciate recon opperation so im outta service for at least a month. At least il make the kildare meet tonight jus to get its first meet anyway.

 

[VentoDub]

So siting in a room all day every day for the last 2 weeks crippled after surgery....the sun arrived out today and the car arrived back from the painter....so i could sit in no longer, i had to do something so i washed, t-cut, waxed it and glossed the black trim. Few pics after. >>>

Plans coming soon will be to loose the yellow fogs, will hav to use paint thinner to remove the yellow paint inside the lenses, fit the LED fog bulbs, fit the white h4 headlight bulbs, fit 2 lower bumper grills, get the b lack door cards in and then sound system hopefully!

i have considered that but not pushed on it yet, mite try doin the grill bars black first and gold badge to match the back and see how it looks....experimentation is always the best way to figure things out ha!

 

[mk2JettaJosh]

that could look good man

and your right, experimentaion is the best way
