I will check my diary mate....

nice one :thumbup:

Don't know why but the paint on Superbs seems to be more able to take polish and give a better shine than some of the other skodas I have had

Baker it sometimes vibrates more than a Porta Cable as it has more torque but once you get used to it you can apply the pressure needed with out applying pressure with your wrists.

I know it sounds like im drunk but once you get one you will see what i mean

Car was looking as spotless as ever today and also was good to have a chat,keep up the good work

I can only campare the paintwork to my Bora but I never ever waxed or polished that one but so far I am happy with the Superb's paintwork.....

LOL.......if you look on A world for detailers... then how I have done the thread is how those guys 'show-off' what they use and what they can do....

On a side note.....I have my UDM now and I will be re-wiring it at lunchtime.....can't wait to use it.....

I have fitted the following:

KW Variant 1 Coilovers - Front lowered around 55mm and the Rear around 45mm;

19" ASA AR1's Silver with a Polished Lip - Front's 8.5J / 225/35/19 Rear's 9.5J 235/35/19

The ride is now perfect and handles really well, with the large armchairs inside the ride is still comfortable and everyone always comments on how good it is even though it's very stiff....

I will be fitting front and rear Neuspeed ARB's in the forthcoming months.....

cool and what are the small ovals on your bumper? are they extra indicators?

They are LED marker lights in the front and rear bumpers.

Just stumbled across this thread Baker21, stunning pictures of the car mate.:thumbup:

As described by Tiptronic they are Hella LED Side Marker's which illuminate when you turn on your side lights.

They are a retro-fit kit that bascially mimics those seen on HGV's and Van's but are a great safety feature when driving out of turnings or reversing out of places......I fitted them because they look great at night.....LOL!!!

Thanks a lot mate.......dug this thread up as vrswhite wanted to know what I had done to it.......plenty of threads on here from me......LOL!!!

if you had put them up slightly higher with a dark tint, they would have given you a bit of an unmarked police car look ;)
