    Good info. Might well get a Bra.

    How long does the finish last? Why the Imperial AND the Omega glaze - don't they do the same thing?

    Imperial i used to get orange peel effect on paint to get rid of the 'bloom' (orange glow to paint) the omega glaze which is a little finer

    No harm in getting the imperial glaze... you only need a little but it works a treat. It will get ALL the little circular scratch marks out and make the pain look like glass ! - well worth doing:thumbup:

    When you apply the imperial hand glaze apply it back and forth then side to side

    I do like and would like a tdi anni, ticks all the box's from the factory...although I'm loving my newly acquired audi A3 tdi se with leather, subtle (project two) bodykit, 18's and a 40mm drop that was 10 times cheaper than a cheap anni (I got very lucky!)

    My previous motor was an Audi S4 - SUPERQUICK - :thumbup:

    I really love Audis and looked at some S3s before settling on the Golf. I just like the Golf 4 bodyshape more than the A3. Sounds like a nice motor and V good value.

    The wishbone bushes are easy to fix, I've always brought new wishbones with the new bushes already pressed in, and the ARB bushes are even easier.
