Much better than the A4 DTM wheels I had on before  :grin:

Gave a new layer of Gyeon Q2 Rim on the Team Dynamics 1.2. Should be good for the trackday on the 12th of February. I hope it doesn't rain then.  :smiley:

Full service, cambelt waterpump and thermostat replaced yesterday at SVS in Dundee, cracking service at a cracking price.

This combined with the gear linkage alignment makes the car feel so much better.

Although it all might just be in my head!

I have to say this to myself every-time I see my car. Makes me feel a bit better at least. Can't wait to get the machine polisher out come summer

My rear number plate is literally invisible from all the dirt.  Love it  :grin:

I hate washing it because the fresh batch of stone chips is depressing every time!

This arrived today.
Surprisingly cheap, as my front end has had a smash at some point and the clips are broken along with a missing GTI badge and some of the red trim broken off made sense...

When it comes out gorgeous after machined

People staring as you drive along is confirmation it's gleaming
Wow that does look good. What combo did you use to achieve that? The paint on mine seems rock solid. I can get it to become glossy and remove a few surface marks . But actually doing a correction seems impossible
