One week in, with pics...

[Neily03]

Well after one week and around 500 miles i can't fault it, in fact I love it! Mpg is show near on 50mpg so far, handles much better than my mkII as it feels lighter and more planted and alot more refined.

 

So yesterday it was booked in for a Gtechniq new car protections detail at Griffiths Detailing in Warrington, here how it looked when i collected it:

Looks great, I've also had the gtechniq total surface protection, the product is unbelievable, great stuff.

Looking very nice! So pleased to see the same setup I've gone for. Black pack with silver looks great. Would love to see a day light shot too

Also did you debadge it yourself?

Yep, piece of cotton to 'saw' through the adhesive tape then warm up what's left with hot water or a hair dryer, peel off and tape and finish with a bit of white spirits to get the last of the adhesive off.

Looks pretty mean!

Nice car pal, makes me want mine to hurry up and get here even more lol.

Glad you are happy with it as well, nice to hear about good experiences.

I have a sliver mk2 vrs estate and tempted to go down the same road with the black pillars and mirrors

Very sexy shine on that!

Nice but please why did u remove badges? Looks very plain without them!

Because it cleans up the back end and makes it neater. No even sure why they put 'skoda' on the left when there's the Skoda badge in the centre anyway.

I agree. Plan on doing the same with mine.

Looks awesome with the black pack and wheels combo.

 

Out of curiosity how much is a new car detail?

£360 + VAT at the bottom end.

 

If you deal with an effeminate type (gelled hair, named Jason, struggles to speak in anything close to a contralto) then you're looking at a grand + VAT.

That looks perfect, I couldn't afford the silver. Really wanted it though, best colour.

[Andrew@DTUK]

great looking car, and a fab finish

[k.young]

That looks sweet!!

What exactly does detailing do?

[Neily03]

Now done 1300miles and no trouble at all except a few random false alarms from the nearside rear parking sensor.

Any probs with your headlight washers ?? Mine dont retract fully back in to the bumper, have to push them all the way home with my finger. Taking it back tomorrow for investigation and hopefully a quick fix.

Nope mine are fine.

Nice.
I have a new silver Mk2 combi and only yesterday I said to my wife that when I am changing, I think I will go for silver again with the black pack.
This has basically made my mind up.
Any outdoor shots please?
