Thanks mate, I was going to pull it apart and put it all into a 2door but I have decided to keep it as it is and just make it into a fun daily.

Seeing it is a nice day outside today I thought I would pull the front seats back out and steam clean them and the carpets. The front seats are disgusting! In the few years I have been detailing I have not seen so much rubbish come out of seats. I tried to take a photo of it but you can't really see.
And here is a comparison the left has been steam cleaned the right has not.

Psst I stole your fuel filterOriginally posted by PoDgE View PostSo I have just been collecting service parts for the car. I don't know much about the vr6 so I'm just researching and buying the products as I find out what I should be using. I have picked up my oil and fuel filters, G13 coolant, and some oil now I'm looking for my gear oil. I have just ordered some NGK plugs and some leads as well.
Also I found this sticker on the inside of the door does anyone know what the recall was for?

EVERYONE TAKE NOTE!!!! So many people say to me I wish I had a G/F that is into cars, it's not as good as it sounds, they steal your parts for their own carsOriginally posted by Anjie_M View PostPsst I stole your fuel filter

Kinkys good......Originally posted by Water Boy View Post
Yesterday I painted the engine covers, I got a bit excited reading all the UK guys build threads and saw the effort they put in to detailing their engine bays. Mine looks a bit sad so I thought I would start with an easy job. Up next will be painting the rocker cover satin black polishing the Throttle body and painting/polishing parts of the inlet manifold, a new coolant overflow bottle probably wont go astray either.
I also joey modded my headlights but when I put them on I realised that I should have painted more then what I did so ill pull them back out again and fix it probably on Monday.

Give the intake manifold a good scrub with some strong stuff (i used some CLR lime and rust remover stuff/ may have also tried a bit of Hydrochloric acid :s....). It'll come up really nice and improves the engine bay heaps. Just make sure you give it a good wash off after you use the heavy cleaner and dont get any of it on plastic etc!
Also, give all your pipes/ battery a go over with some trim restorer or atleast give them a good wipe. And try and polish up all exposed paint like the strut towers etc. It'll make it look a million times better.Current: 2007 Black Magic GTI - APR Stage 2, Carbonio intake, APR downpipe and catback exhaust, RNS510, Bi-Xenons, Custom Red Leather Interior, Tow Bar, Racks and Parking Sensors

Went for a cruise in the golf today, ended up in Geelong and went for a drive along the beach. This is seriously the first car that I have owned in a long time that I am happy just driving more then building.
