I switched it over and repaired the bumper. Bondo spot putty, touch-up paint, wet sand, rubbing/polishing compounds. It's not a perfect job but you can't tell unless you're up close and looking for it.

Yea this looks good. I got an ebay tow hook mount being delivered today. Hopefully the quaility is good enough, I didnt want to spend $60 $70+ on a license plate holder.

:iono:If you need to remove the salt film the only option is to go to the car wash, our Golf practically lives there to reduce minimize rusting, coz of VW bad paint with the early MK6.i realllllly want to wash my car but with temp variations +17 / - 20 day over day.. snow/freezing rain/hail not to mention salt/dirt on the roads i find i once i wax before winter I don't wash the car til late March early April.. .car looks like a dirty white poodle through winter... suuuuuuucks :mad0259:

Ugh, same! Mine looks like a dusty black lump of coal for a third of the year.
Pictures taken of the rust perforation on the wheel wells by VW Dealer Bodyshop, waiting months now for them to call but not holding my breath. At the time I was told that the dime sized stone chips on the hood and roof just above the windshield weren't covered.

Picked up my new wheel from powdercoating. Gotta try not to do that again.

I spent a few hours working my R bumper again. I snapped in the valence parts on the bottom so I could see how it lined up underneath the car and at the fender wells. There was some trimming there I had to do, but it lines up perfect now.
I also knew I was going to have issues with my neuspeed intercooler being in the way, so I spent most of my time working on that. The hoses were in the way for both grill pieces on the side, so on the passenger side I trimmed off probably about 2 inches of the IC hose and 1 inch off the driver side and that gave me enough clearance for the grill pieces to fit. Except it didn't...once I had that fitting right I noticed the bottom corners of the bumper beam are in the way. That shouldn't be too big a deal for them to fix though.
The only other issue is gonna be 2 spots on the center grill need to be trimmed where it's pretty close to the IC. The spots only about an inch wide and only on the bottom slat, so not too much will have to be trimmed off. I'll let the body shop place take care of that one too.
I feel good about how it'll fit now though. The IC hoses being in the way were my biggest concern, but that's taken care of.
Also turns out the wheel neuspeed sent me as a replacement doesn't have a 57.1mm hub, so that was fun to discover while trying to install a freshly powdercoated wheel. At least they're 18's and 5x112, so I just need to figure out wth the hub size is.
