Cheers mate
How is your build getting on? Think your thread is well overdue an update
Don't shoot me, but I think I read some where that polishing the drive wheel on the alternator can cause the belt to slip? Or it was only with the non genuine belts?
Fair point but on this one the pulley is chromed but only on the outside, where the belt sits is just zinc plated like o.eDon't shoot me, but I think I read some where that polishing the drive wheel on the alternator can cause the belt to slip? Or it was only with the non genuine belts?
Now your just showing off!
Can't what for mine to finally be all clean and bling'd up like yours. My interior paint work currently looks like it's been washed with bricks.
Yours will be epic when its finished mate, you're even more ocd than meCan't what for mine to finally be all clean and bling'd up like yours. My interior paint work currently looks like it's been washed with bricks.
So far the only bling on mine is the seat rails.
Seat rails, that reminds me. Jon, did you know Ph1's had polished/chromed seat belt tidy bars as standard? Or whatever they are called. They are quite cool.
These (top right), but polished:
Nice idea Trev
Im going to work on the car Thursday to fit these last parts an tidy up a few loose ends, got the annual oil change to do as well then the car is 100% finished.
Ill be posting up some finished pics once it has had a total inside and out detail then it will be the end for this thread.
Subtle little mod to freshen up the look of the willy wheels an to stop me getting bored and want to change them.

Looks fantastic. The stickers are a touch on the wheels.
Where's the chrome fan support?
Looks awesome mate.
Mint
Cheers guys
It will soon be in the possession of Topcat
That engine bay is a thing of beauty. The red and black silicone is awesome. I like all the bling also just not enough to be arsed doing mine

You would have to give us a clue as to which areas are ott cos it looks pretty well balanced to me. OEM+ I think is the term used in the vw world.
Definitely. I think you should scrap this project and start againThank you for all the nice comments

Onwards and upwards
I've been buying some new cleaning stuff ready for the first spring clean.
The Dodo juice smells amazing and is really good value at only £6 delivered for a panel pot.
It should easily do the 5 four or five times this year.
Very good choice there. The black hole works a treat on dark cars.
The trick with the purple haze is build up a few layers but as it's a soft wax make the last layer dodo juice banana armour or a hard wax which will offer slightly more protection.
That's my method anyhow
I notice you have something attached to the cylinder head close to where the standard knock sensor goes, I can't quite make out what it is from the pictures.
Is it a knock box? Or a sensor of some sort?
The only thing thats near the o.e knock sensor is a chrome version of the engine lifting eye

Ahh, I thought it was something else, at least now I know what those two bolts holes in the head are actually for

I also use the poorboys blackhole glaze and the dodo juice orange crush for my red car and its a really good combo so the ones you have should be spot on easy to apply too

Mot @ 1pm today.
Must be an mot'ers dream to get a car in such good condition.
Good luck anyhow
If It fails and you start to break it, you have my number
She'll sail through big man.
Im looking forward to giving the underneath a dust off and polish more than anything.
MOT passed for another year
I made good time getting to and from the mot place, so managed to get to see this beauty on the way home.
She was ground running in preparation for this years flying season.
Had the old girl out yesterday!
100+ miles and a much needed wash and polish.
