Haha. Possibly. We'll see how it goes. Doing OK so far

It's lasted longer than the mx5. Engine died after 2 months

and just thought, the aux/usb slot. does it pop out easy enough? cant do with the usb stick upside down, may flip the ports so its right way up

Was fairly easy to pop out on the MK7 I had (Haven't tried it on my mk 7.5). Was just a case of prying it up (Gently) with a flat head screw driver or trim remover. AUX and USB ports just clip in to it. The pain in the backside is that while they are attached to it, it's a bit of an annoyance to move it around

Ta man. Think tomorrow's efforts will be swap this. Remove badges and begin waxing

 

Today was wash my Bros mk7  and clay bar the roof

Next week's will be take off the wheels. Get them sorted and tidy up the arches

Don't think I've ever seen that colour! a really nice colour for sure!

It's always annoyed me that the USB port is upside down, but I figured it was just to stop any dirt getting on the contacts if you have nothing plugged in... Older models had a little flap over them

They removed that to give you a 12v cap that doesn't come away from the plastic... and allow for DRL's. lol *sarcasm*

Hmm I hadn't thought of dirty contacts. May remove the SanDisk logo instead then

 

Candy blue is a lovely colour. There's a zetec on street in same colour. And s in town. And the dealer I got mine from has one atm. So I've seen a few now

Dirty contacts might not be a problem if you're always going to have the USB connected. I hardly unplug mine. 

Candy blue is a beautiful colour. I was debating between that and deep impact blue when I was buying my car. Candy blue was too expensive unfortunately so went with deep impact. Can't complain really. Candy Blue is a head Turner though :-D

Yeah lucky I bought second hand. Didn't need to fork out for it. Shame the rest of the options boxes weren't ticked mind

todays efforts. gave it some quick detailer, clay bar'd tthe bonnet.

found what ever this orange stuff is on my diffuser when looking for an exhaust :)

DSC_4917.jpg

was right in the honeycomb too, so got a quick brush out and wipe down

also made up my mind on the rear badges. both came off.couldnt do with the diesel econetic badge any longer. some heat and strimmer wire a spot of wd40 and a final once over with clay cleared them up a treat

You'll have to let us know how it turns out. Been considering it myself but not sure if I'd do the whole wheel

  • Author

Will do buddy. The fronts pick up brake dust really easy and it's annoying me already lol

Strangely enough I also removed my front wheels today, sealed them with Inspired Automotive Finalise Pro temporarily as I'm not spending money on C5 for standard wheels. that can wait for the JR11s

I also cleaned the arches, and applied Autoglanz Trim Reaper. Brilliant stuff!

Used it to restore the WHITE faded plastics on the girlfriends mk6 back to a nice solid black without the greasy/sticky finish

I'd recommend it for your trim and tyres mate! UV protection trio

Cheers buddy. I'll bare that in mind. I just gave them a spray with Halfords special tyre shine (my bum)  

Think I went abit crazy with the c5. Will have to be a bit stingier with the next 3 wheels lol

 

Had fun though. Been a while since I've done a wheel off clean. There not perfect. But should suffice

 

Also missed a finished picture
