Small update!

I was having a clear out of all my car parts earlier and I found the polo aerial which was fitted on my Up! Needless to say it went straight on the golf and it looks loads better.

Much better, that was one of the first things I did to mine too  :happy2:

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Yeah, it's those little things that make all the difference to the look of the car. Quite often the cheapest little mods are the nicest touches.  :smiley:

Haha, yeah, on night shift so gives me time to catch up on all the posts I missed by sleeping during the day.  :grin: What's your excuse?

Yeah I agree!

Honestly? I wish I could say I was doing something cool but in reality I just woke up on the sofa and am now making my way to bed haha

Very nice looking golf Reece, you were very lucky to snap this up indeed.

It must feel good to have a limited edition model!

Yeah I was really lucky! I wasn't even really looking for a new car but when I saw it at work I just had to buy it.

Here's a couple of snaps of how clean she was before the 100 mile trip to GTI International.
(Yes, I'm aware my photographic skills aren't the best and most of my photos look the same haha)

Yeah it was, bit tight round there in places (I was in a LWB van though) !
I work down on Hylton Road (by the river) so not far from you, hopefully see you around  :smiley:
