great looking car !!  :happy2:  see white is a bit popular !  :grin:

I reckon the colour coding on the back bumper looks odd, almost back heavy ?   :smiley:

not bad at-all, there is one corner/turn/junction when we go to sister-in-laws, that we always 4got.
a left turn with about quarter turn on wheel, 10-20mph,  with a pot hole,  it would bottom in it (well not bottom but felt that)
the right wheel would chaf/rub/scrape horrible sound, but thats it, we went to france with top box and boot full of stuff and it was propper low and never touched once(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2F15billyboy%2Fcandy_gti%2FDSCF6066.jpg&hash=f2035f442ba4769dc48296cdeb5c0b74170744ca)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2F15billyboy%2Fcandy_gti%2FCarcominhome.jpg&hash=c58bc6e37e6e154620c5acfc6118c4955be5233a)

Both end TBH mate! It's starting to pi$$ me off now as the garage I use has had it up on the ramps three times now and can find nothing............ I think I need to take it to more of a specialist who's used to fitting aftermarket kit!  :smiley:

Yeah I've heard she bought Gregs mk 4?
Quite a few lay-offs at work, and plenty of non-production days, but so far I'm OK if a little down on money!! The whole motor industry is in turmoil at the mo, and looks like it may get a lot worse before it gets any better!
