    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.e

    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.

    So far the only bling on mine is the seat rails. Maybe il throw in some pink so I've got something for people to talk about. Really pump'd on getting things done to it this year and driving like a hooligan and seeing confused look on peoples faces when trying to work out what a R5 GTT is.

    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.

    Looks fantastic. The stickers are a touch on the wheels.

    Where's the chrome fan support?

    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.

    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?

    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 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.
