What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[GarryO]

Well washed and polished the Bora yesterday, ducked down town to get some more supplies, a replacement for my old polisher/buffer that died, some new wiper blades in anticipation of some rain eventually (got a set for the wife's car as well)
and cursing the birds of the 51st Central West Bomber Brigade, it would appear that they still think we are at war with Germany
I have been looking online at ecs for coil-overs but also considering their airbag setup, Might go coil-overs first then at a later stage I can play with bags. Dreaming of what to do next to get more grunt out of the beast
A frankenturbo looks nice but I have always been a fan of superchargers.

Ok, seemed like a big few days till i realised how little i've actually done. Though, for a first-timer on most of these jobs I reckon i've done ok - haven't broken anything or stuffed anything up.

Front calipers before:-


Masked up:-


First coat:-


4th coat:-


Unmasked and done:-


Then decided to do my annual headlight clean up (left not done, right done):-


Then sealed but not sure its the beat sealant:-


Rims prior:-


Rims after:-


And the final finishing touch:-

Today I clay blocked my GTI as it was caked in industrial fallout.
Then washed it, vacuumed, cleaned the windows, and put a new air freshener in (which smells horrible).
Car looks mickey mouse.

Just need to polish it at some stage. Cannot be bothered today.

And installed a new Kenwood head unit.

Today's progress, car is now back on all 4 paws, and with a new nose too. More to come, keep watching

Tears of joy.... happy tears

excuse the brick under the driver front wheel - i broke it with another brick trying to move it (and almost smashed a newly "painted" rim in the process). Needs to be shot to really judge gaps etc.
Do i spray the black plastic mesh grill inserts another colour? Dark cherry red or something?

Leave them black i reckon, Dark cherry red would look nice, but you would need other things on the car to be cherry red too

Leave them black. If you do them in dark cherry red, I will vomit on your car.

[Brisbane's Bora]

Bora looks good but we need more pictures of that BMW 840(?) in the background I think.

Went for a long drive last night and at one point started getting a noise, went for about 5 minutes then stopped. This morning I went out to check what is was and found this




Any ideas how this is even possible? I checked all possible bits that may have been hitting the wheel and there is nothing with scrapes or dents or marks at all. The wheel was on tight and all other wheels are fine.
