I had the chance to give the GTi a quick wash just before the new year. They added some kind of paint protection, not sure of the exact product, but the car required little more than a blast with the jet wash and a hand shampoo/dry, came up great. Detailed the wheels too.
Note the 15" front brakes are actually carbon ceramic, made by Alcon in the UK who made the brakes for the Ariel atom, Bentley Continental and other premium brands. The full LED headlights are crazy good at night, it's like someone bought the sun back. Personnel best trip MPG of 51.3 over 30 miles, but been doing a lot of "lets see what she can do" trips which has lowered my average a bit! Totally love this car. Anyway, a few pics, cant be bothered hiding the registration anymore...
