106gti sundance yellow

[Kezzer30]

Splitter is still there its just yellow , i didnt take it off as im getting a cupra one shortly

---

That looks gorgeous.

Has it had a full respray previously? If not, that is a surprisingly good match on the sundance.

Tbh its abit out in dull light but in sunlight it looks bang on , yellow is a weird colour tbh

nice find there with that one looks clean and tidy had one before fun to drive.

So been wanting to try my hand at detailing , saved some cash bought myself so goodies to make a starts and have had a few practise efforts and finally started to get the hang of it (it's not simple haha takes some doing )

Some of the new goodies

Ok so the pics are from the rear quarter of my 106 , it's had a poor respray and getting the paint fully flat is impossible due to the underneath/prep in areas but as anything it can be improved . So


This is a L.E.D light to show you the small scratches/swirls that most cars are covered in


This is after a concentrated stage 2 and stage 1 polish compound as you can see fantastic improvement


This is after a quick full panel sweep over with stage 1 and 2 there has been a massive improvement but as you can see they are still light scratches , so a much more to be done


A much more concentrated in the same area , full stage 2 and 1 and as you can see great results

Great results

Always scared I'm going to go to hard or 'burn' through a layer of paint when I use a machine polisher.

This car is so much win! Making me so tempted to be ridiculously irrational and buy one!

Haha well hopefully you will , be better once ive finished it all haha

[Tom]

Yes epic detailing <3 Im a big fan of Poorboys, love there stuff! Looks like your already getting some great results, well done

[puglove]

Looks so much better with the bumper strips gloss blacked

[Tom]

Forgot to ask is that a rotary or DA polisher?

[Grant]

From looking at it, rotary as I think it's an angle grinder lol

[Kezzer30]

Its a silver line rotary buddy , saving up for a proper flex buffer etc , but this does the job fine tbh

[Tom]

Thats ballsy going straight for a rotary! Looks like you picked it up quick though, would love to do the same on mine

[Kezzer30]

Yeah u have to move quick , but the flex one im saving for its epic for job just a shame its £400 haha

[Tom]

Quicker you move the quicker your done haha! Might have to buy some of that SSR stuff :p

[Kezzer30]

Quicker you move the quicker your done haha! Might have to buy some of that SSR stuff :p

Very wrong! If u try and do it all too quick the results are poor , every panel has to be split into small areas and then carefully done using the correct stages haha that rear quarter isnt done and i was on it over 2hrs

[Kezzer30]

So the weather was nice the other so I continued with the detailing .
As you can see my rear quarter was covered in swirl marks etc



The spoiler was scratched and swirled


But after some patient and hard work

[Tom]

Looking good dude!! Keep up the good work

[7057sam]

Wow looks great in the sunlight

Anymore plans ?

Nah you have to be a prat to burn the paint. Providing you go nice and steady and perhaps read a guide for a few tips before hand, you will be fine!

Is that a crack in the rear wheel arch trim or is it the edge of a chip protector? Looks fantastic man!

[Kezzer30]

No its edge of chip protector need to get a tar remover to clean them up tbh

[Kezzer30]

So a few more bits done , new sunstrip and new cold air feed fitted , tad bigger than I originally wanted but managed to fit it snug so I'm happy with it .

[Kezzer30]

So need to update , got the rear windows tinted

After this i decided to go all out and sort the engine bay as this is how it looked




Gave it all a really good clean and polished my rocker covers


Then i finally painted my rear bumpstrips gloss black


New pads and discs for the gti180 brakes


And then had loads of custom covers made and polished , sanded loads of rust out and a quick blow over , tidyied all loose wires with yellow conduit and then themed the car for the french car show


I also got the one of a kind custom windscreen sticker made




Thanks for looking
