Mk1 Gti soon to be dumping

You can't beat the sound of a valver mate iirc

Epic chris, that last shot of it on the rms is sweet although the boobies drew my eyes lol

Haha now that's a trained eye for the artistic shots

Cheers mate

Well managed to get a qpeng k03 downpipe yesterday looks fresh

Oh did I mention 40quid

Boo    get those Corrado wheels back on, much smarter in my humble opinion.

does look good on the sebrings. altho done to death the bbs look superb, spesh on the gti arch ad pop

  the sebrings are still on.. The bbs are far to wide for it but iv got pirelli ps to that'll chop and change between  

A picture of the £40 bargin buy in amongst the weeds 

Not had much time or spare wedge for this at the mo as iv got so many other things going on So  was finished all my other jobs for the day and decided to start cleaning the bbs that have been living in the kitchen.

This probably isn't recommend but it is by me
So I got myself an 8mm 12point socket then
started in the living room till I got chucked out

Started with this, dust included.

I started by removing 5 or 6 bolts at a time, cleaning the lip, then refitting bolts torqued to experience lol then moving round. I thought about dropping the air and doing it all at the same time but this was just a trial really..
So this is the bolts refitted after the hand polish.
Before

After


Pretty chuffed how it turned out. Only 3 more to do
The rims being aluminium have a bit pitting on them and slight rashing on the lips so I might try and get that out next but its not much. Going to try sandpaper for that.
I was going to paint the centre caps next as they have a bit flake, but thinking about getting a painter to do them now as it shouldn't be much

Nice results mate. I've got a few you can do if you're ever stuck for something to do

Thought it was a good tip to share as most tips iv read on cleaning them involve tooth brushes, sore finger tips and far to much time. This is by far the best way to do it

I've seen worse things living in the kitchen!

Best tip to cleaning is pay some other fool

Wheels look lovely!!

Very nice………….nice and shiny      

Cheers guys   going to get them refurbed next year probably this is just a quick fix.
Going to paint the centre nuts myself now but not sure on a colour. Was thinking just Halfords silver but not sure!?
