I bought them and wasnt too keen & sold them.

Although I've seen a pic with them fitted the wrong way (what I think is the right way) round and they look better.

The skirts 'Correct' way (the way I dont like).....

But tbf for the cost of buying fitting & painting the skirts, I could have the dent pulled & painted I prefer it without anyhow

You'll prob ditch into the kitty litter or grass whilst you find yours and the cars limits, id not worry about some paint touch ups.  That's why air field days are perfect.  You can push it to its limits

Stop being gay.  I have a £25voucher you can use ifyou want.  I won't need it before we go to be fair

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Mike have you actually counted all the money in "The Pit"?  :scared:

I'm sure it would shock me if I went through my spending with a fine toothed comb....

But, Mike....you have some serious mods on there  :notworthy:

Now, let's all get to the track for some fun  :laugh:

Gloss black all over Holly Valance - Anything all over Holly Valance would be nice! Adding a real carbon layer just adds weight, albeit only a very small amount. And it'll match your gloss black roof better.

Your car is already track-ready as it is - It's not a race. Just think of it as one-way fast road with no restrictions. Gently does it and build up smoothly and give yourself breaks.
