Morning all, Doing a bit of work on the S3 yesterday and I came across this. All four were just as bad. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you thoroughly check over your car, especially if it is new to you. I've done about 250 miles since November in my S3, any one of...

Thanks guys! Progress has been slow due to baby presence. Cleaned, done a few hundred miles in it, driven it in the snow, it's great. Slow. But great.

Rear discs and pads done, aux tensioner fitted and belt fitted. Also had a child. Not a bad week in fairness.

Hi. Yes I do all of my own paint correction, have done for years. The tools you use really aren't that important however my polisher is a Rupes. I am a big fan of Chemical Guys V34, it just does everything. I used it in this instance, then worked to Chemical Guys V38 to finish. Thanks...

Fitted a steering wheel. Gear shifter felt nice. Removed the bi-xenons because they didn't look right. Fitted yellow all weather bulbs. Changed the aux belt. Fitted new plugs. Went to the pub. Car looked cool. Removed the sunroof. Drew lines on a sheet of aluminium...

Removed the headlight film. It looked better. Cleaned the interior. Changed the door locks and handles. Rebuilt the fan. Bought the right grille. Cut up the headlights. Made something badass. Went to a sprint day. It went fast. I span. It was grippy. I bled the...

Spotted this on Club-GTI. Bought it. Washed it. Changed the thermostat. Bought wheels. Fitted a 7 slat grille. Removed the sun strip. Repainted loads of bits of trim. Peeled the fake carbon bonnet wrap off. Fitted these. Wheels on. Machine polished it. It...
