More UD final prep from Saturday...

Poverty spec

Pimp spec

Whole interior out for cleaning

Golf seat before

IMAG0459.jpg

...and after, not perfect but much better!

IMAG0461a.jpg

Then driver's seat put back in & round to my mate Phil's (once we'd taken his Mk2 Golf to have the tracking done) with my cleaning arsenal, not much so far but got a good collection started

IMAG0462.jpg

Then started hoovering the Loop which is when I realised just how filthy it was, starting to see how people can get a bit obsessive tbh :lol:

Before

IMAG0464.jpgIMAG0466.jpg

After

IMAG0467.jpg

Gave her a bit of a wash & even did some inside bits

Hinge section before

IMAG0468.jpg

And after - there were brackets which I didn't even know were black before I started :lol:

IMAG0469.jpg

Masked up for polishing (anyone spot the 'deliberate' mistake?)

IMAG0470.jpg

Turtlewax on

IMAG0471.jpg

IMAG0472.jpg

After this I rubbed the wax off by hand then buffed up with a machine polisher but at this point I thought I should stop taking pics & JGOWI :lol: but you can see the results in previous shots from Sunday!

[edit] turns out I did get a pic when I was done just found this

IMAG0475.jpg

I seem impressed with the reflectiveness :lol:

How much were the wind reflectors? I really want some, I can't drive with the windows up but I hate the loud wind noise that you get with the lupos... Wasn't to bad with my old citreon van I had hahah...

25 quid from UD, basically got the best you can get for same price as fleabay cheapies, pretty chuffed :D

What's the betting that you check the V5 of any Sport before parting with any cash, to make sure there's no "B" in the chassis number! :lol:

Laters LED sidelights:

IMAG0605.jpg

Okaaayyyy so...plans so far for the Sport I don't even own yet (I can't help it haha):

De-tango front repeaters & tinted side repeaters

Custom grille (work in progress, check a few pages back lol)

Stickerbombed alloys (as above!)

Corrado stylee 16v badge on front grille (might whack it on the standard grille til I get the custom jobby finished)

Probably remove rear 16v badge

Rear VW badge colour coded / carbon vinyl wrapped backing, or possibly the other way round dunno yet

Quite tempted to make another 'Loop' badge tbh :lol:

Stubby aerial

GTI seats

40mm springs for now with a view to coilies somewhere down the line

Rear ARB
