What did you and your MKV do today?

Had a knocking noise from rear of car today . Thought it was exhaust turns out the drop link pooped itself

Got my steering wheel reupholstered. Planned to do perforated sides / smooth top bottom like OEM but walked away with alcantara. Loving it so far :)

These arrived today

Decided to take the plunge and update the wiper arms on my GTI. They were the early spindle type arms and the blades always seem to be more expensive, than the newer slide in type of the Mk6 and late Mk5.
Bought some Mk6 arms cheap (£13 for a pair) sanded down, light coat of etch primer and then satin black paint to restore them. New Bosch blades for under £14 from Halfords and fitted them all.
Simple mod 👌 It all came to the same cost as a set of the old style blades on their own 😕
New on the left, old on the right
