Lukey. 381 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I drove over a bit of mud on the road and have a couple of little rooster tails up the lower portion of the front wing and back bumper and was a bit peeved, I don't know what I'd do if it got that mucky lol. You can fit a mk3 TDI undertray with a little bit of cutting of the tray to fit the different sump position, they come up on eBay every so often but prices can vary largely, I got one a couple of years ago for a tenner, there was one on last month for 90 quid.

rodney 17 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I go for a slightly different approach here folks... I give it a damned good clean... then that's it.... for the month..Once a month the hose comes out and all is cleaned/polished again... As you have to squidgeee/scrape the windows and lights every morning they're always clean...It just isnt worth the effort... Mine actually gets dirtier on the motorway than on side roads... I have often thought about a rear wiper delete but I couldn't see anything one time when it broke so that 'aint gonna happen... LOLThen when March Hits... There is the "Special weekend"... every item in the cleaning toolbox comes out... Engine/Exhaust/Inner arches/inner wheels/all nooks and toothbrush holes are attacked with vigor... I always like being able to see the aerodynamics in action with the swirl and water run off lines in the winter.. (Plus the headlamp washer supports this... Sad I know but Hey!

Dave_ciw 507 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I couldn't have it lol The slightest mark or piece of dirt on it drives me crazy! In this weather it will hardly be used at all! Although it is a crazy circle as I love spending the time detailing it! So if it doesn't move I have nothing to clean!Although its just a two bucket was and and layer of wax followed by another layer 24 hours later just trying to build up layers for winter!
