It finally stopped raining.....so I did this!
twoscoops replied to twoscoops's topic in Bodywork and Styling
Hairyarse, yip SRP is brilliant on scratches if worked into the scratches. Use about the same amount as a skittle and work hard into an area 12 inches by 12. Work in circles, up and down and side to side until the polish is well worked in. Then do the next panel, once it is finshed, rub of the panel before and keep working one panel a head. For the deeper scratches i work 3-4 layers in with medium pressure. If you look at my last two pictures you can see the difference. Just make sure you dont use too much SRP or it will be dusty and a nightmare to take off. Brilliant brilliant stuff. -

Cheers mate im really pleased with the results. Not a stupid question at all, as soul-2-soul said, Autoglym Super Resin Polish....when worked hard it is a seriously underestimated polish! cheers -

cheers mate, I totally agree they look brilliant when they are gleaming! I definitely rate the Megs #16 wax, it really is so easy to use and the finish is fantastic and deep! -
Well finally it has stopped raining for a couple of days so I thought it was time to finally open my new tin of Megs #16. Began the day will a nasty jet wash but best I can do. Then spent a good few hours working several hits of SRP into the paintwork to try and correct some of the worse scratches. I have to admit to being amazed at how much correction can be achieved by hand with SRP. I followed this up with my new Megs #16 which is just the easiest wax in the world to use and the finish is amazing. Nice deep and wet looking. I really cant complement it enough considering it costs £12

Thanks guys it's much appreciated. Im really pleased with it at the minute. Next step is to lower it a bit so that the rims fit the arches a bit better.

Cheers fella, im am relaxing with a beer now!

Well after a few hours of polishing and some Megs #16....oh and the new Audi rims 8-)

Side sill part number please?????????
twoscoops replied to twoscoops's topic in Bodywork and Styling
legend mate thanks for that! Need to go find a price now and get them sorted. Cheers! -
Can anyone give me the part number for the thin side sill inserts that run the length of the car? Mine are rusty and popping out. Cheers!

My VR6 turbo, Haldex 4wd. The end....
twoscoops replied to legvw's topic in Members Rides and Event Photos
Builds going well mate, puts me to shame considering all I am trying to do is find some suspension to drop it 40 mm! Keep the updates coming! -
Good to see another Edinburgh member Dave. Did you get the car?
-
cr&p I must have missed that one mate. Have you got a link to it so I can go have a look? Cheers
-
Just out of interest, stick a photo up of your Dragon green motor for all to see, we all love photos!

Guys For the summer im going to by either Megs #16 or #26, anyone have any experience of either. I want a nice wet look finish with decent durability. It will be going on on top of SRP to try and shift some swirls. For the winter it'll be getting collinite 845. Thoughts please as I want to order in the next few days. Cheers Tim
-
Looks great mate, nice and tidy. One suggestion is to get some autoglym bumper care and it will bring all the black trim around the bottom of the car back to black! Really like the wheels! Always good to see another 5 door dragon green owner!!!

Offset with new alloys
twoscoops replied to twoscoops's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Not to worry guys, that carbible is great so dont worry about the hijack. -
yeah thats what was worrying me a bit. i dont want to end up with it slipping all the time. The patch is appearing at the top of the wheel were I hold it all the time. cheers

My standard VW steering wheel is starting to suffer. the leather is standard to deteriorate quite bandly. If there anything I can do to stop this and get the leather back to a good condition?? Cheers

Offset with new alloys
twoscoops replied to twoscoops's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Thats great guys, at the moment the car hasnt been lowered so hopefully they should be fine. Thats the next step in the plan once funds get a bit healthier! -
Need a bit of advise for fitting my new alloys please. They are Audi S3 17" Avus alloys and I am just wondering whether they fit straight on? People keep talking about offsets and I have tried to read on here but I still dont understand what it means. Can anyone tell me whether these specific wheels will fit straight on? Also will they have an effect on the speedometer readings?? Cheers from an alloy novice!!! Tim

thanks for those, it gives me an idea. -
Dragon Green with Gun metal alloys
twoscoops replied to twoscoops's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
thanks for those. they are a much darker gun metal (almost black) than that unfortunately and im just not sure whether they will look any good against the dragon green. Unfortunately he only painted them 3 weeks ago....I would have much prefered them unpainted! thanks -
are they just clipped into place or how do you take them of to rub them down?
