My Candy RS Hatch

[CSM]

Hello Everyone.

I picked up my White Rs Hatch on 27th December, being a total surprise.

I was waiting for it in late january/february. I'm very pleased with the car, pulls well, low consumption, everything is how I wanted it to be.

 

I will put some pictures from the afternoon I picked it up.

In that evening I also put on my winter wheels, that's why the car is on the elevator. 

 

And LED number plate lights. 

[CSM]

After the new year, I made a custom dual exhaust, tinted windows, debadged and detailed the car.

Very nice love the look of the lights those winter wheels are nice!!!!

[CSM]

Thank you Daz!

Very very nice! I'm jealous on those winter wheels. Same ones I wanted but I thought it's not worth getting BBS for winter... Now I'm sorry I didn't! Grrrr...

 

By the way, what did you do to the exhaust? You have the diesel but you seem to have proper dual exhaust like the TSI. You seem to only have straight pipes or am I wrong?

 

PS: You're only just about 3 weeks late posting this. :p

Thank you Tudor ! Well, I have diesel , but I custom made the exhaust with straight pipes because it was smoking only on one side and it was awkward and for better sound at higher revs.

I know I am late , but I've been busy and had troubles posting photos ????.

Looks v well Daz.

What level of detailing did you do?

[CSM]

3 layers of sealant for the exterior with hydrophobic treatment for windows and the interior with leather balm and plastic dressings. Also the engine bay received plastic dressing

[LadyVienna]

Wow looks really good. Proper smart. Congrats and well done!

Very nice CSM, enjoy!

[CSM]

Thanks alot Mence! Same to you, no troubles !

Sorry for been "blonde" but is "hydrophobic " and what does it do? 

Also for the paint, is that 3 layers of a special product and it seals the paint does it? 

[CSM]

It does to the windows what wax does to the body.

That sealent is from 3 M and protects the laquer from low temperatures and so on.

Excellent, so less dirt on the windows and less ice?

[CSM]

Don't know about the ice, didn't have the "pleasure" to test it.

Yes, the dirt is less atracted on the bodywork and the water on windows slides easily, I will post a video with this. It is a bit hard for me to explain .

A prime example my friend, good work on the exhaust pipes. Enjoy!! :-)

[CSM]

Thanks !  :love:
