Update:

In preparation for the Meguiars day, I have done a few extra bits to the car this weekend. Firstly, the Brembo's were in desperate need of a refurb so I tackled that:

Before:

I chipped away the loose laquer with a chisel then used some industrial wipes and flatted them back just to help key the laquer:

Then gave them a good 3-4 coats and was surprised at the results:

Then left for 24 hours. Very happy and a big improvement for little cost or effort:

Very nice mate. I've been contemplating doing my boot S and CUPRA badge in black for a while as I'm not keen on the shiney bling (thats best kept for the engine bay). Having seen yours darker its definately on my list to do.:D

Nice work, all this work may make you want to keep it

Haha I doubt it. Already spending money on the Evo I don't own yet!! I do love the car but at the same time, I cant wait to get an Evo. One things for sure, whoever buys this will be getting a real good example. There's literally nothing wrong with it.

Myself and the car paid the guys at Meguiars a visit today. My car was one of 10 picked for the Meguiars UK 10th anniversary. We had a day at the factory with various seminars, our very own phot shoot, free stuff and more! Was a fantastic day and the car got a good response :)

Awesome.

Well done mate. Your car looks superb there and looks as though it was with some good company. Loving that Polo. Is it a G40?

That's a great day right there! Glad you enjoyed it and I must say great collection of cars.

Deep down I'm loving the Nova... Shock horror!
