Noticed the difference with the paintwork now youve clayed it?Yeah, the side skirts look better for loosing all of thier tar spots! And the boot and top of the bumper had a layer of grot, which is now as smooth as a babies bum!ah, another recommendation for collinite! Was checking that out on www.cleanyourcar.co.ukThis is going to get expensive! Gonna get some super suds shampoo, and perhaps some sealant too!

TO protect the bonnet from chips and salt etc Well the cover doesn't come on its own...of course VW!! Had to buy the whole ashtray assembly...including cigarette lighter.And the ashtray is screwed to the bottom of the centre console jobby! As for the bra...from what I've read its not a good idea to have it on if it rains (water will collect at the bottom) and they shouldn't be left on for over a week at a time anywayTo tell you the truth its more of a showy thing...will put it on to go to shows or if I do any motorway journeys. It just looks so cool...putting something like that on which most people just dont understand makes it all the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I had the same with my ashtray cover. It had gone purple. I had it done under warrenty though and I'm sure they just changed the cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
