scottg17 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 to be fair, that MPG was on after a run on a main A road, reset it before leaving work the other night, about 15 or 20 miles on it there. its now settled with combined driving to 58mpg, Still really good Anyways, Pulled my finger from my ringer today and detailed it. Started with a wash with a lambs mitt and AG shampoo.Clayed,dried,polished with swirlX, came up a treatwaxed with nattys pastewheels done with wonderwheels universal wheel cleaner,tyres done with AG tyre black. Interior was hovered.plastics done with what i thought would be pish but turned out great - Son of a gun! Im impressed with the lights front and back, polished them up with swirlx http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs391.snc4/45454_1598063351901_1245529921_1668415_4799740_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs367.snc4/45021_1598063791912_1245529921_1668418_7707802_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs187.ash2/45021_1598063871914_1245529921_1668420_967522_n.jpg Before....http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs367.snc4/45021_1598063911915_1245529921_1668421_6631679_n.jpg After....http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs387.snc4/45021_1598063951916_1245529921_1668422_6142616_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs187.ash2/45021_1598063991917_1245529921_1668423_4160801_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs387.snc4/45043_1598064271924_1245529921_1668425_5427439_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I got my first MK2 from Mcrae and Dick in Inverness!!! You might want to upgrade the headlight bulbs now the nights are darker. They are absolute pish as standard! After coming home from Dunfermline the other night I remembered how bad it was! Stll need to order a set for my mk2.5!! Nice going cars but a bit floaty if you push hard in the corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottg17 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 itll probably be getting a full set of nightbreakers sorted out soon anyway, Bulbs seem not too bad, maybe they've been done before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
