Another job done today, git the inlet manifold off to fit the darkside swirl flap mod. Upto now no engine warning light 😎

Yes but it needs doing again when I have a bit more time. I don't get paid for advertising so it all comes off 🤣

One job I noticed while valeting the car was the chrome grill surround was badly chipped and discoloured so today I stripped the grill and painted the surround in deep black pearl Just waiting for my new grill badge to arrive now so it has a temporary grill badge. Another job done was to remove the CARSHOP advertising from the botton of the number plates Tomorrows job is to sort the swirl flap motor (one previous owner or garage has stuffed tissue paper in the hole where the engine warning LED is to cover the fault🤣) Trying to fit it in between paying customers work 🤪

Hi all, I took this VRS in px for my old VW transporter on Sunday . The plan was to sell it straight on but I have already grown attached to it so it will be staying for a while at least. Its in reasonable condition for an 11 year old 120k mile car but the paint work looked like it had been polished with a cactus🙄. So first days job was to spend a few hours machine polishing it touching up stone chips etc. It is now looking much better although it will need a lot more TLC to get it to a respectable standard

Good idea, I will do that. New Thread started in the projects section😎

Couple of jobs done today. Stripped grill and painted chrome part in deep black pearl to match car and got rid of carshop advertising on bottom of number plates

Thanks, looks like a job to add to the list then. Not a fan of the chrome

Is there anywhere that sells a black surround for the front grill to get rid of the chrome? or is it just a case of painting the original

Had a day cleaning and polishing. It's starting to look a bit better now but still a long way to go

Thanks, I will do. Still getting used to it. Got a few jobs to do but the priority is the paintwork at the moment and make it look a bit more presentable. Now I have taken this car I now have 3 vehicles in deep black metallic 🤪 1xVw T6 transporter camper 1x Vw Up Black edition and now the octavia Going to have to stock up on touch up and black polish 🤣 Paul

Hi all, I have just sold my VW transporter and taken a 2011 octavia VRS tdi in px. The plan was to sell the octavia straight on but I really like it so its here to stay. Its metallic black but looks as though it has never seen any polish in its life 🙄 so the first job is a full valet and machine polish Brace yourselves for a flurry of daft questions Paul
