BarberVW:
Decent looking car you have there, looks well cared for.
I believe the colour is 'Laser Blue' and is certainly not common.

Sjw_Vw:
Very nice :happy2:

Laser blue - good to know :) It is relatively tidy, but still can do with improvement (refurb on the alloys is one of the items on the list!)
I would love to go onto 18's (looks stunning), but the cost expense, compromise on ride quality and I do believe they handle better on 17's puts me off...slightly  :wink:

Few quick updates:

01/09/14 - Rear Tyres changed Bridgestone RE050A 225/45/17
02/09/14 - Alignment done, Hunter machine - if anyone is nearby and is looking for a good place to get their alignment sorted, can certainly recommend the following: F1 Tyres, 168 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex, RM6 6LU
Email: info@f1tyres.co.uk Phone: 020 8599 9985
Their typical pricing is £30 for front alignment, and £50 for 4 wheel - bargain for alignment on a Hunter!

02/09/14 - Cruise Control Stalk replaced (original had broke wires) Ended up buying the following item: MEYLE Indicator Stalk Switch Cruise Control 1K0953513G
Purchased from: Murray's DIRECT, 9 Harpsfield Broadway, HATFIELD, Hertfordshire, AL10 9TF
Phone: 01707 272686 Email: mail@murraysdirect.co.uk
Collected it myself in Person £28.80 inc VAT

So, the car (as of last night) has hit the 100,000 miles mark and is still going strong  :happy2:
Haven't really been on the forum for a while and thought I should at least do a mini-update..

Jan 2015: Oil Filter Housing replaced, as well as oil filter and some long life oil. Pollen filter also changed. All original VW, TPS supplied)
May 2016: Front Tyres (Bridgestone RE050)
August 2016: Oil filter, oil, pollen filter (Original VW parts, TPS supplied)
August 2016: Rear Tyres (Pirelli P Zero Nero)

Aside from the above, I am sure there has been more done, but cannot recall it all at the moment  :laugh:

I now also own a Lotus Evora  :wink: so tend to use one or the other depending on journey/weather etc. A few pics...
