New lights look awesome definately changes the rear. I would ask how you coded it but dont have a clue about vagcom lol. Was the rarb easy enough to fit? recon that might be my next purchase. Also autosol and wire wool might clean the exhaust up a bit as a temp fix.

The rarb is pretty straight forward, done a few of them for myself and other people now
only kind of tricky bit is getting the hooks sitting on the rear beam properly.Not too fussed about the back box tbh, putting a turbo back milltek on after Christmas
Most places will do it if they've got an empty day in their diary mate, try and go for a reputable detailer, and the longer they've been in the business the better! Gordon at defined is more than just a detailer, he's an artist haha! Taught me so many things I would never have thought of and now I just want to correct paint for the next 24 hours straight
Haha yeah their is a mobile detailer I'm going to try soon I'm new and just want to learn more about products etc and how to use them before the bigger stuff got some bilberry, DJ SP, stripper scent air freshener which is amazing and the gtechniq glass sealant today! But couldn't use them as I've had a 4inch needle in my shoulder and its still dead now haha roll on the weekend! Do you use a glaze on your car? Don't know a lot about them but my mate at the gym raves about them lol

Glaze is good for show cars when you want to fill imperfections quickly, if you polish properly you'll never need glaze spent ages refining the bonnet of the ST today and it gave a better finish than I've ever seen a glaze and wax give.
One of the best things you can do is experiment, find out what works for you and what you like woking with, experiment with different products and get comfortable with everything.
If you're looking to get better at it then this is the order I'd go about practising and perfecting things
Proper washing technique
Proper decontamination and clay technique
Trim taping
Paint assessment (save up for a paint depth gauge!!)
Mess about with a DA until your hearts content
Save for a decent rotary polisher and some good pads
Get some scrap panels from a body shop (they tend to give them away for free)
Start practising with the rotary
Book in with a detailer for a 1 to 1 session on proper rotary use
Detailingworld has good information about everything, but don't assume that just because its on there it's true! You can also download the swissvax handbook for free on their website which has some good tips
Long post over lol
