Cheers mate, I really like it! Yeah I am indeed, as above I believe Scott and girly jeans are round to clean the cars, probably Saturday... So that'd be good Smile. That's very generous of you lol

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Niall - 17-07-2013

Curt text me details (if you have my number). Ill pop down with all my cleaning stuff and bring the snow foam if i can get hold of some in time (my bottle only seems to work with more than 100ml in it and i have about 5ml left lol)

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 17-07-2013

Will do mate, I don't actually know anything yet haha. It was just mentioned the other day... Sounds good though! Only problem is my hose isn't very well and keeps falling apart lol

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Niall - 17-07-2013

Ill stick mine in the car although its not very long (so my missus keeps telling me anyway Sad )

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 17-07-2013

Haha, nice one Smile

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 18-07-2013

Just need to do in between the squares now... and the glass... and the wheels could do with another coat... and the interior.

My back is dying and I have blisters from the mop, but it was worth it I feel.

Re: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - vlj - 18-07-2013

That looks absolutely awesome, but dear god what have you put on the roof!!!!!

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Matt - 18-07-2013

The roof looks awesome man!!

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Niall - 18-07-2013

Love the roof!

Cleaning whore Tongue

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 18-07-2013

I think it's quite obvious what I've put on the roof Vaughan lol

Yeah I love the roof, was umming and ahhing a while before I decided to go for it.

Haha, yes I am! Which is weird for me, I think his fuckups kicked my arse into gear to get it done.

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Matt - 18-07-2013

Well I think it looks win man! Glad you did it haha

Re: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - vlj - 18-07-2013

After looking a few more times, it could probably grow on me. The paintwork is bloody stunning though. Wish I had the time/patience/slaves/effort to do this!

Cheers man, me too Smile. It's something I sort of had planned the last time I had it (can't remember if I mentioned it to you or not...) but never got round to it.

Well I know it won't be to everyone's tastes, but it's grown on me since I did it. I don't know how obvious it is, but they're actually silver, so it ties in with the wheels.

I'm very pleased with how it's turned out. It's still not perfect and never will be, but it's so much better. Well worth finding a couple of those in your list to do it!

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Ed Doe - 18-07-2013

Fap.

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Matt - 19-07-2013

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - samass - 19-07-2013

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 19-07-2013

Made some more progress on the new scratch it acquired in his ownership. Filled with layers of touch up paint, then sanded down, filled, sanded and polished back up:

I can and probably will get it better than that, but it's much less obvious so I'm happy Smile

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Ed Doe - 24-07-2013

Nice job man Smile definitely a job well done by Katie there putting the plates back on! And totally not taking the piss out of me polishing the car in the process... Tongue

Re: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - THE_Liam - 24-07-2013

Cheers mate Smile. Naaah she wouldn't do something like that...! Wink

Yeah I was pretty pleased with it. Like I say, I can get it better, but it'll do for now. Plus, I'm not sure how brave I will be with more sanding... Although I'm sure there's plenty there

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Tom - 24-07-2013

Wow, love the way it was mint when you owned it, some scrote had it and it looked f*cked, now you got it back put some time into it and it looks like its worth another 500££ looks incredible! Really need to learn to do stuff like that!

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Ed Doe - 25-07-2013

Yeah, Curt seems to just get a car and quietly get on with it. You've got a talent with the old MOP too man, I need to learn this Tongue

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 25-07-2013

Cheers guys, appreciate that my hard work goes noticed Smile. It's really rewarding getting back to how it should be.

Well, like I said before... I make it up as I go along lol but it seems to work. Happy to help if you ever need it though Smile

RE: (VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again) - Curt - 25-07-2013

Bit of beadage, everyone loves a bit of beadage...
